Former Los Angeles Kings superstar goaltender Rogie Vachon retired in 1982 after winning three Stanley Cup Championships and a Vezina Trophy with the storied Montreal Canadiens before joining the Kings in the 1971-72 season.
Vachon was a huge star on a mostly bad team, and many times, won games single-handedly, often leaving opposing forwards wondering how they didn't score on him after a glorious scoring chance.
But as great as Vachon was, Los Angeles was, compared to most everywhere else in the National Hockey League, hockey obscurity. He never got the exposure or recognition and primarily because of that, was denied an honor he clearly deserved, but had been denied since he became eligible in 1987.
But that wrong has been made right with the announcement that he will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November. To read all about it, including exclusive comments (with audio), check out:
