Cassie Campbell-Pascall’s inclusion on HHOF committee a no-brainer - Sportsnet.ca
Cassie Campbell-Pascall’s presence on the committee acknowledges work she’s been doing for years.
“It’s about time” is a clichéd reaction to this sort of news. It’s one I certainly had, but my first reaction was actually: “Okay but what happens when she’s nominated for the Hall herself?”
Cassie Campbell-Pascall answered that question herself in the above article — she’ll leave the room. (The actual process for nominating a member of the committee is article 20 here.) As the only hockey player to captain back to back Olympic gold medal winning teams, and the first woman to commentate a national hockey broadcast, she definitely will be nominated at some point (if she hasn’t already been, the Hockey Hall of Fame doesn’t release details of those who have been nominated but not inducted), either as a player or as a builder.
