Highs & Lows?

Qualifications to be inducted?

Answer 1

I'm with you, Brodeur is the man!

The hockey hall of fame in Toronto is much larger. It contains more memorabilia and is the home of the Stanley Cup when it isn't on tour with the winning team. It is the official hockey hall of fame.

The U.S. hall of fame was recently moved from Biwabik, a tiny town in northern Minnesota to a new location. I haven't been in the new complex, but if it is similar to the old, it has much less to offer. Also, it highlights U.S. born players a bit more.

*Bonus* No, training camp wont begin for a few more weeks. generally in early to mid Sept.

Answer 2

just different stuff in them

Answer 3

I would imagine that the US Hockey Hall of fame is dedicated to Americans. The actual Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto Canada is open to all. There is also I believe an International Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston Ontario Canada.I could be wrong.

Answer 4

Travel down the 5N to the 405N, exit El Segundo. You may see a King or two on the ice in the early AM at the Toyota complex. No camps until next month, though.

Answer 5

I didn't even know the US had one.  I can't imagine that it's much of a hall without Stan but I've never been so I can's say for sure.
