It’s a small step but a step in the right direction for inclusion of women in the Hockey Hall of Fame

Earlier this week the Hockey Hall of Fame inducted Jayna Hefford as a part of their class of 2018. The inclusion of Hefford was long overdue. With four Olympic gold medals and seven World Championships, she is one of the most decorated players - man or women - in international hockey history

The fact that it took so long for her to get in was an indictment on how far behind the Hall of Fame is when it comes to inducting worthy members from the world of Women’s hockey.

Yesterday the group took at step in the right direction when they announced that Olympic gold medalist and current member of Hockey Night in Canada Cassie Campbell-Pascall was added to the Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee.
