Former Minnesota North Stars and Detroit Red Wings forward Dino Ciccarelli was the lone former NHL player selected for induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Tuesday, although a couple trailblazers in women's hockey also got the nod. Cammi Granato, who led Team USA to a gold medal in the 1998 Winter Olympics, and Toronto native Angela James, a standout in the 1970s and early 1980s in the Central Ontario Women's League, were selected for induction at the Hall's annual selection meeting.
"I dreamed of being in the NHL my entire life and this certainly makes up for those dreams," said Granato. "Being amongst the first women to play at college and later at the Olympics, it certainly was worthwhile being a hockey pioneer."
Ciccarelli played 19 NHL seasons with five teams, scoring 608 goals and with 592 assists in 1,232 games.
"This is a tremendous honor that I will cherish for the rest of my life," said Ciccarelli. "I really appreciate the support of my coaches, the fans and mostly importantly my family throughout my 19-year career."
Jimmy Devellano, a longtime Detroit Red Wings executive who pioneered European scouting, and late Calgary Flames owner Daryl "Doc" Seaman were elected in the Builder Category.
The 2010 induction ceremony will be held on Nov. 8, 2010 at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
"The Hockey Hall of Fame is proud to welcome these five hockey legends as Honoured Members," said Jim Gregory, co-chair of Hall of Fame's Selection Committee. "Their contributions to the game of hockey are well documented and their election to the Hockey Hall of Fame is richly deserved.
