I've been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum in Cooperstown, New York, so I couldn't miss the Hockey Hall of Fame while in Toronto. I just need to drive to Springfield, Mass., for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and I'm done!
Anyway, I'm sad to say the HHOF doesn't hold a candle to its counterparts in Canton or Cooperstown, disappointing for a game with such a rich history. There just isn't much to it; it's small, with a nice collection of old uniforms and trophies, but not enough to really tell you the history of the game and I had a hard time even finding the inductees. There's nothing like the plaques or busts at the other HOFs. My favorite part ended up being the display of international uniforms. Who knew Israel and Mexico have hockey teams?
