The 2016 Michigan Sports Hall of Fame inductions took place Friday night from downtown Detroit, and once again the nominees were the cream of the crop. The class of 2016 may be one of the best ever in the history of the MSHOF, especially if you are counting championships.
Osgood and Shanahan both played a key role in the Wings three Stanley Cup champions back in 1997, 1998 and 2002.
According to a Freep report, the 2016 class included former Detroit Pistons star Ben Wallace, former University of Detroit and Detroit Piston John Long, former Flint Powers High School basketball coach Kathy McGee, former Detroit Lion Robert “Bob” Mann, longtime baseball writer Tom Gage and Oakland University swimming coach Pete Hovland.
