The time has arrived! We mentioned that only one nominee was selected for induction. it was a difficult decision by the committee but a result was reached. You may remember some of the past nominees, including last year's lone nominee the skate-in-a-circle gradient alternate from the 1996 series that kicked off the craze. This one is in the same group of those except that it outlasted all of the other (if you will) "Original Six" jerseys. Only the "Robo-Penguin" of the inaugural class - 2006 - came close however the "Robo-Penguin" was actually used as the road jersey between 1997/98 - 1999/2000 for a span of three seasons. We proudly present this year's Hockey 3rd Jersey Hall of Fame, The infamous "Winnie the Pooh" jersey of the Boston Bruins.
We have also been in deliberation over nominations . . . to be clear, jerseys may be from any level of professional hockey and must have been worn at least three games. Special single-game uniforms will not be eligible for at least five years (or by special rulings). Therefore, there shall be a separate wing of the Hall if such a jersey is ever inducted. The recently retired Tampa Bay uniform is now eligible to be nominated for the Hall.
