U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of ’11

I’m back from a productive meeting at Centennial Golf Club.
USA Hockey today announced the newest members of its Hall of Fame, to be enshrined in the fall. [1]
They are:
Chris Chelios, Mike Emrick, Ed Snider, Gary Suter and Keith Tkachuk.
[2]
[3]Chelios was the first hockey player, back in the 1800s and he’s in the discussion as one of the greatest American-born players ever.
Emrick absolutely deserves the honor, a true professional, great story teller, etc.
Snider deserves this year’s Mario Lemieux whiner award. Not exactly sure how he’s a Hall of Famer. Maybe he’s getting in because he finally realized he needs a goalie to win (though I don’t know if he has one yet).
I don’t have any comment on the others, except that I think Tkachuk might have been one of the furniture guys in Nagano.
