*US birth is not a pre-requisite for induction.
A handful of executives that did not make their "mark" as players are also inducted.
trends in recruiting are changing. MA, once a hockey hot bed, is showing a decline in talent entering college and major junior leagues. On the other hand, New Jersey is on the rise. guys like Van Riemsdyk and Ryan will be NHL studs. Another, Ciocco, aught to represent well in either college or MJ's...depending which route he choses.
Amen to New Jersey being on the rise. As kids playing hockey in Jersey we always looked up to Jim Dowd as a God. He was the one player from Jersey in the league and we all wanted to be like him. Now with JVR and Bobby Ryan ( Two #2 picks in the NHL draft ) it seems like we are about to have not just players but superstars shining for our state.

New Jersey's first inductee into the US HOF...Ding Palmer
Sweden and Finland are obvious choices, as are Russia and the Czech Republic. There's some amazing talent from out there.
