There's no real requirement for a GM to be listed, aside from having stepped down recently. GMs only have 3 seasons of eligibility, but that eligibility begins immediately, the season after they step down (as tracked HERE). The current list is what was listed in the ballot when the S66 voting was conducted, and was not kept up to date. Look for that to change moving forward.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Season 66 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony!

I’m super excited to be presenting this season’s inductees, and it’s truly a fantastic group of players that we’re welcoming into our prestigious halls.

There are a lot of changes coming to the Hall of Fame soon, but as a reminder, this season's voting took place many months ago, before I was brought in.
Any errors or complaints can be sent to me in a DM, but know that this was already decided and I can't do anything other than make adjustments moving forward. 

Also, as a reminder, applications to be a part of the new Hall of Fame Voting Committee are open through this Friday, at Midnight EST!

Before we get to celebrate those who made it, let’s take a chance to recognize those who graced our ballots for the final time this season.
Four players were on the ballot for the final time during Season 66 who unfortunately did not garner enough votes to be inducted into the SHL Hall of Fame.

Emiko Spector
Barracuda : S48 - S51
Blizzard : S52 - S57

Ti-Guy Emond
Stars : S41 - S44, S56
Riot : S45
Barracuda : S46
Monarchs : S46 - S55

Brock Nuck
Dragons : S45 - S52
Platoon : S53 - S58

Ray Bork:
pride : S44 - S55[
Steelhawks : S56 - S58

We'll also say our farewells to the following GMs whose eligibility ends after this season (or should have ended in a previous season), and who did not receive enough votes to be inducted. 

syndicate Velevra (S46-S59)
pride Henrik (S55-S63)
Rage JayWhy (S39-S63)
Blizzard Keygan (S47-S60)

Before we begin with the inductions, we would like to remind everyone of how the voting procedure works. Each member of the committee (10 people in all) nominates 5 retired athletes from the list of eligible players and ranks them 1 through 5, which in turn gives these players points according to their rank (10 points for 1st, 7 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd, 3 for 4th and 1 point for a 5th). Each committee member must also provide a short written piece to back up their choices. These points are then totaled and all players who receive 35 points or more are selected to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

For GMs, committee members are allowed to place 2 votes, and a GM must receive at least 65 points to be inducted into the Hall of Fame

Our first inductee played for a single team for their entire career and was a pivotal piece in multiple deep playoff runs, including three Challenge Cup victories.
A mind-blowing .94 PPG throughout his career, plus six All-Star nominations and several individual award wins and nominations made this player stand out to our voters, and it’s no surprise that he had an almost unanimous 1st-place selection by the committee (91 out of a possible 100 points).

Committee Quotes:
"Luffy has the highest ppg by far out of any eligible player with .94, won 3 awards including a Mexico, and had 3 additional nominations and 6 All-Star nominations which is the most out of any eligible player. He also has the most points out of any eligible player. "

"I don't think there's a question with Luffy. 6x All-Star, Mexico, Khan, and Mcdonald with multiple other nominations. Got the cup. A point per game with good supporting numbers. The only player that screams #1. "

"Luffy was the franchise player of the Stampede for the S46-60 era, with ridiculous point totals in regular season and playoffs. Awards and Cups to match."

"A very consistent point producer as well as a very good postseason performer, who had consistently high point totals in his career during the peak. (6 seasons at the very top of the league). Also has the trophy case (especially the MVP). The All SHL nominations are also impressive"

Our next inductee spent a large portion of his career with the team that drafted him, even winning a cup with them, but then spent the final 10 seasons of his career with 5 different teams, never staying put for more than 2 seasons until his retirement. With an impressive three All-Star nominations and an even more impressive 3 Bojo Biscuit wins, he was an absolute monster on defense, finishing with more than 1600 career hits and only 6 blocked shots shy of 1700 for his career.

Rex Kirkby

@Acsolap

Platoon-Old : S44 - S52
Wolfpack : S53 - S54
Specters : S55 - S56
Inferno : S57 - S59
Stampede : S59
Forge : S61 - S63


Career Regular Season Stats:
GP: 1047 | G: 162 | A: 514 | P: 676 | +/-: 174 | Hit: 1616 | SB: 1694


Career Playoff Stats:
GP: 162 | G: 15 | A: 61 | P: 76 | +/-: 24 | Hit: 187 | SB: 277

Awards:
1x Rookie All-Star
2x Third Team All-Star
1x Second Team All-Star:
1x First Team All-Star
1x Anton Razov Nomination
1x Scott Stevens Nomination
3x Bojo Biscuit Winner
1x Challenge Cup Champion (S47)

Committee Quotes:
"Kirkby is the best defenseman eligible in this class with 3 Biscuit awards and two nominations, 5 all-star nominations, the highest PPG amongst pure defensemen, the most points amongst pure defensemen, and 3rd most SB and 4th most hits amongst defensemen eligible. He has proven to be the most well-rounded defenseman eligible."

"A three-time award winner of any award should have a strong case on that alone. 3x Biscuit wins with 5x All-Star, a cup, and multiple nominations for other awards. Over 1000 games played adds to the milestones. Amazing hits, shots, and shots blocked numbers for a defenseman. A bit of a no-brainer. If Luffy screams #1, Kirkby screams #2. "

"A very complete defender throughout his career that most users would be envious of. Has the offensive numbers during the prime + 3x Biscuit wins as a defensive defender. The total package for a TWD. The All SHL nominations are also impressive"

Felt like I probably should have made the hall of fame as a GM, but alas the voters felt differently.

Our final inductee is another standout goal scorer, but unlike Luffy and more like Rex, he bounced around teams for his entire career, playing for 7 teams over 19 seasons. With a large portion of their more than 1000-game career being played in the STHS era, where goal scoring was overall lower compared to FHM, his offensive numbers still shine. To bolster his already strong case, the voters also pointed to his 4 All-Star appearances, 2 McDonald trophy wins, and a Challenge Cup victory.

Piotr Czerkawski

@majesiu

Wolfpack : S42 - S43
Blizzard : S44 - S45
Specters : S46 - S51
pride : S52 - S54
Renegades : S55
Rage : S56 - S60
Panthers : S61

Career Regular Season Stats:
GP: 1030 | G: 319 | A: 443 | P: 762 | +/-: 63 | Hit: 1627 | SB: 426

Career Playoff Stats:
GP: 147 | G: 35 | A: 51 | P: 86 | +/-: -30 | Hit: 248 | SB: 38

Awards:
2x Third Team All-Star
2x First Team All-Star
1x Aidan Richan Nomination
1x Ron Mexico Nomination
2x Jay McDonald Winner
1x Challenge Cup Champion (S45)

Committee Quotes:
"A clear dominant force in the SHL, Piotr is a standout in so many different ways it's hard to quantify them all in a short blurb. 4x All-Star, 2x McDonald wins, 2x other award nominations, 1 cup win, 1K+ games played, just a fantastic all around."

"Czerkawski was a premier goalscorer in the late 40's to early 50's. His output, while not overly impressive compared to scoring in the FHM era, is on a very high level for its time. Add two McDonald trophies, a Mexico nom, and multiple All-Star appearances and you've got a strong candidate."

"Something that is very overlooked is that Czerkawski played the majority of his prime during the STHS era which was generally more low scoring but still is 0.7 PPG with 2x McDonald trophies and 4 All SHL team nominations"
