Hayley’s accolades have a hard time keeping up with her.
The Hockey Hall of Fame wasted no time hustling Wickenheiser into its gallery of heroes in her first year of eligibility.
But when board chairman Lanny McDonald phoned her Tuesday to relay the joyful news, Wickenheiser was sequestered doing mandatory medical school course work at the University of Calgary.
“I knew my phone was blowing up. I couldn’t answer it,” Wickenheiser said. “My first call was back to Lanny.”
The 40-year-old from Shaunavon, Sask., joins players Guy Carbonneau, Vaclav Nedomansky and Sergei Zubov and builders Jim Rutherford and Jerry York in the 2019 class of inductees.
The induction ceremony is November 18th in Toronto.
Congrats to the Class, maybe one year Paul Henderson will get the nod?
