HHOF | 2024 Induction Celebration - Nov. 8-11

Weber is still playing for 2 more seasons though. How did he make the cut?

Born in Sicamous, BC, Shea Weber starred for the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL, winning a Memorial Cup in 2004. After his Junior career he turned pro with the Nashville Predators in 2006 and was team captain for six seasons. In international play, he won gold with Canada at the Olympics in 2010 and 2014. Overall, Shea is a member of one of hockey's most select clubs, winning the Western Hockey League twice, a Memorial Cup, World Juniors, World Championships and the Olympics.

I confess to having no knowledge of the HHOF process. But did Weber officially retire? If so, when? This seems a little weird. I realize the guy has been done for some time, but isn’t he still under contract to Ari-Utah?

You can't be playing for three years in order to gain eligibility.

So happy for both of them to go in at the same time!

Pretty sure Pronger still had a contract running when he got in.

As a big Weber fan I am very happy. Hopefully he doesn't decide to go in as a Hab out of spite.

I really didn't think Weber would make the Hall, at least not right away. Maybe this is the writers making it up to him for f***ing him over on the Norris.

And he was still under contract when he took a job with the NHL

I don’t think there’s anything that ties player to a team like the hats on the baseball hall of fame so don’t have to worry about the first part.

 

[PredsV82]

I wonder if they release the vote totals like they do in baseball. Would wonder how close Pekka got

Weber surprises me with no Norris and no Cup, despite being a top contender for the former a few times. Should bode well for Josi's candidacy.

It’s the Hockey Hall of fame not the NHL. He’s got lots of international accomplishments.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Congratulations!

I am still amazed he shot the puck though the net in the Olympics.

 

[Rock Paper Sissons]

Way to go Weber and poile!! I sure hope poile doesn’t go in as a capital and Weber as a hab lol

 

[Rock Paper Sissons]

Anyone else think it’s a coincidence we got Gibson the same day Weber went into hall of fame??

It's not just you. I also think it's a total coincidence.

I thought we already had our next Shea Weber?

 

[triggrman]

I thought we already had our next Shea Weber?

who would that be?

BTW, I come here for the hockey talk, I stay for smartassatry

Maplepred is real hyped on Matier and has said he has Weber potential before. I don't see it but would love for him to be right.

Stated earlier in this thread. Hockey is not like baseball, inductees go in as individuals and are not tied to a single team. Shea Weber goes in as Shea Weber, his entire career is celebrated both with Preds and Habs, as well as international and junior accomplishments.

If we was Weber level he wouldn't have started in the ECHL.

I think he meant Yannick.

(Which still might be a lot to hope for! )

 

[Rock Paper Sissons]

Yeah you are right. We should just write him off because he started in the echl. Whatta loser eh? Nobody has ever had success in the nhl that’s played in the echl… smh

I can’t wait until Matier is playing top 4 on the Preds. I am gonna just love the “you were right comments” coming my way hahahaha

Wait, who is writing him off?
