Why isn’t Patrick J Kelly. Co-founder of the ECHL, 72 years in pro hockey, Cup named after him @ECHL , coached in the NHL, IHL (Turner Cup Champ), won multiple titles playing. We could go on for days about his career and life and what he has done and meant to people in it.
Why do Hall of Fames wait until people die? Why do they adhere to arbitrary categorical rules that really mean nothing and can be changed with fewer than 12 words? Hall of Fames/museums simply tell a story and ceremonies give someone a chance to feel love from family and friends and adoring strangers. Otherwise, these buildings are really meaningless. Why wouldn't one want to do that? You can't tell the story of hockey without the 30ish years Don Cherry and Barry Melrose gave the game via National Television. They both gave THEIR THEIR ENTIRE
LIVES to hockey and the NHL. Imagine how warm a night like that would be make those two GIANTS feel and those of us that loved their entertainment and hearts. Time is limited for both. Cherry is 91 and Barry has Parkinson's. How easy is this? What are we doing?

The @CincyCyclones are making some hockey history tonight! 👏
They will become the first team in the history of pro hockey to start an all black lineup when they take on Wheeling Nailers.
@ECHL | #NHLTonight
Detroit-Edmonton and Tampa Bay-Arizona both went shootout tonight after great OTs. We need to extend 3-on-3 past five minutes to keep cutting down on shootouts.
Pretty disgusting that a former NHL referee can treat young officials with a level disrespect and receive little to no punishment. The “cat” must still have 9 lives …. Still looking for a penalty on Nashville ???
The referee, Tyler Hascall, is injured just 2:47 into the game. He has skated off under his own power but, at least for now, it looks like we're going with Christopher Williams as the ref and Bryan Gorcoff as the linesman. (I offered to call the game: Joe Ernst didn't respond.)
A good piece of info from AHL PR expert Jason Chaimovitch (@Jchaimo):
At 34 years old, Wolves head coach Ryan Warsofsky is the youngest coach to win the Calder Cup since Peter Laviolette did so in 1999 with the Providence Bruins.
That's pretty solid company.
In a world of so much negativity these days, if this does inspire you nothing will. @PatMcAfeeShow this is so pure and from the heart, you should be proud of what you just did for some many people.
Ray Harris, Brett Marietti, Joel Martin and Tim Nowak have been selected as the 2022 class of inductees for the #ECHL Hall of Fame
