Path to Greatness
The Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2001 has little in common. One member carried a small town to respectability, another emerged through quiet consistency, and a third is the son of tradition. From overseas two came -- one to escape the shackles of communism, while another thrived alongside The Great One. They were inducted into the Hall together on November 12, 2001.
