For two men who played crucial roles in bringing a Stanley Cup to Dallas and helping establish the Stars organization as one of the NHL’s very best, it is only fitting that they enter the Hockey Hall of Fame together.
Joe Nieuwendyk and Ed Belfour will be among four inductees to the Hall in a ceremony in Toronto on Monday, along with Doug Gilmour and Mark Howe. Both former Stars are well-deserving of the honor, not only for their accomplishments in Dallas, but also elsewhere in the NHL over the course of long, distinguished careers characterized by lots of winning.
It really is the ultimate individual accomplishment for a hockey player, even in some ways surpassing the glory experienced by winning a Stanley Cup.
