Journalist Sarah Siv has criticized the National Hockey League’s (NHL) decision not to induct former Russian players into the Hall of Fame. She wrote this on her Twitter page, she.
The caption read, “This is a complete disgrace.”
In June, the NHL submitted a list of nominees for induction into the Hall of Fame. It included four Russian hockey players – Sergei Gonchar, Boris Mikhailov, Alexander Maltsev and Alexander Mogilny.
On June 21, the New York Post reported that none of the Russians were inducted into the Hall of Fame. It included goalkeepers Henrik Lundqvist (Sweden), Mike Vernon (Canada) and Tom Barrasso (USA) and forward Pierre Tarjeon (Canada).
Besides the Russians on the nomination list, Corey Crawford (Canada), Justin Williams (Canada), Jennifer Botterill (Canada), Rod Brindamore (Canada), Karin Bai-Ditz (USA), Megan Duggan (USA), Patrick Elias (Czech Republic) ) , Theo Fleury (Canada), Curtis Joseph (Canada), Reggie Leach (Canada), Chris Osgood (Canada), Caroline Ouellette (Canada), David Poyle (Canada), Jeremy Renick (US), Keith Tkachuk (US), Henrik Zetterberg (Sweden).
