Paul Henderson headlines the 2013 IIHF HOF Class

Many (including the Committee Chairman) have made a case for Paul Henderson for the Hockey Hall of Fame. Henderson did get the call today; although it was for the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame; which like the better known Hall, is also located in Toronto, Canada.

Paul Henderson scored the most important goal in Canadian Hockey history when he scored the game winner in the Summit Series in 1972 between the Canadians and the Soviet Union. Henderson’s performance in the entire series was a stellar one, and easily the best of his career; and his induction is based on this series.
