Jeremy Roenick has been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame after being eligible for more than a decade.
Former Chicago Blackhawks player Jeremy Roenick acknowledges the crowd after being honored before an NHL hockey game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Blackhawks on Sunday, Jan. 22, 2017, in at the United Center. Jeremy Roenick is going into the Hockey Hall of Fame, ending the wait for the American forward who had been eligible for more than a decade.
Roenick is part of the seven-member class of 2024, the first to include two women’s players since 2010. It’s the first class with two U.S. women’s players in the hall’s history: Natalie Darwitz and Krissy Wendell-Pohl. Two-time Stanley Cup-winning winger Pavel Datsyuk and defenseman Shea Weber were elected in their first year of eligibility. Longtime executives Colin Campbell and David Poile were chosen in the builder category.
Roenick was a first-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 1988. He played eight seasons with the team and was a three-time All-Star while with the Hawks. Roenick’s 1,216 points with Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Jose are fourth most of any U.S.-born player. He has been eligible since 2012 and passed over each year since.Hard landing temporarily halts all flights at San Diego InternationalDali departs Baltimore for first time since bridge collapse, heads to Virginia
