Hall of Fame Media Inductees
Yesterday, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced their two media inductees for the year. The will announce several more inductees including players after the playoffs end (Here are my predictions for this season). They announce one person from radio or television (who is given the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award along with his induction) and one journalist (who is given the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award along with his induction).
This year the honoree from television was Bill Hewitt. He is Foster's son and was a Hockey night in Canada commentator from 1955 to 1982. He died in 1996, so this award is posthumous.
The journalist honoree is Dave Fay, who writes for the Washington Times and has covered the NHL since the early 1980's.
Both are deserving inductees.
Here is the TSN story on the inductions.
