In 1945 the Hockey Hall of Fame began inducting the superstars into its pantheon of greats. To celebrate the Hall’s 10th anniversary at its current location in downtown Toronto comes the most significant, lavish pictorial and anecdotal celebration of the 324 honoured members in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Fully illustrated, Honoured Members includes all of hockey’s great players, from the early legends such as Cyclone Taylor and Hod Stuart, to Gordie Howe and Bobby Orr, and on to Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. Never before has the Hockey Hall of Fame allowed such unprecedented access to its archives, collections, and its honoured members’ lives to celebrate the game and the people who made it the world’s most exciting sport.

Honoured Members is a must-have book for the casual fan and the devoted follower.
