Congratulations to Dick Duff, Hockey Hall of Famer

A new class has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. As always the ceremonies were a glitzy affair. Receiving most of the headlines was Patrick Roy who set records and won Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens and Colorado. Also headlined was the late Herb Brooks, coach of the 1980 USA Olympic winner.

One inductee received less fanfare and deserves a greater nod. But understated and quiet work was always the game for Dick Duff. He was on four Stanley Cup winners with the Montreal Canadiens (1965, 1966, 1968, 1969) after winner the cup twice with Toronto (1962 and 1963, and his career represents a style of play and conduct which sadly is becoming associated with another era and place.

Agan we honor Dick Duff, Hall of Famer, for all he accomplished and for all he represents.
