Nice and easy one this season. With us taking a break from Builder inductions for at least this season and a split vote* for 2nd place among players, we only have one induction this season and it was something of a slam dunk. *I should note that we don't do run-off votes for the HOF as generally if there is no consensus for 2nd place that might mean that we think several of the players are worthy but maybe not as a first ballot choice.

 

Anyway....

 

RW - Duncan Idaho, S77-S84 :mos::dcd:

RS: 576 GP, 367 G, 424 A, 791 P, +174, 1,222 PIM, 2,734 HIT, 249 SB, 60 GW

PO: 82 GP, 52 G, 70 A, 122 P, +21, 189 PIM, 469 HIT, 39 SB, 9 GW

 

S77 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy (Top Rookie)

S80 Scotty Campbell Trophy (Most Valuable)

S80 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward)

S81 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward)

S82 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward)

S83 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward)

S84 Scotty Campbell Trophy (Most Valuable)

S84 Brett Slobodzian Trophy (Most Oustanding)

S84 Mike Szatkowski Trophy (Most Points)

S84 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward)

2x All-VHL First Team (S81, S84)

3x All-VHL Second Team (S80, S82, S83)

 

Usually I do a brief write-up here but it's almost easier to just list some highlights in this case:

 

  • 25th most goals all time, the highest total since Matt Thompson and Podrick Cast retired in S68
  • 29th most points, again the highest since Thompson and Cast
  • 3rd most hits of all time
  • Joint most Boulet Trophies, tying the legendary David Smalling on 5
  • Joint 2nd most career playoff points, tying Dakota Lamb just 8 points behind Scotty Campbell himself
  • Most hits in the playoffs by anyone ever, nearly 100 hits above Mikko Lahtinen in 2nd place

 

All he didn't win was a Continental Cup, coming up short 4 straight times with Moscow, but his legacy is secure anyway. Congratulations on another Hall of Famer @OrbitingDeath  , also now joint 2nd among all members with 5 to his name.

:cheers:

Fitting that Idaho makes it to the HoF on a class of his own... or, better said, in his singular class. S85 is the class of Idaho. Congratulations, @OrbitingDeath !

Well @OrbitingDeath  at least Deathwalker beat Idaho in two things: more hits and more Cups! 😁

 

Seriously, though, you are one of the best and this induction is elementary. It was an honor to share the ice with you! Congrats!

Wait someone voted for Holik?

 

Anyway, obviously we’ll deserved @OrbitingDeath . To the surprise of absolutely no one of course since your players are basically guaranteed slam dunks.

I know who and tbh I somewhat respect the decision to get two of the "2nd place" players some love because you know Idaho will win. Although would not be good if everyone did that.

Well then if you want the mystery, I'll just spoil it and say it was me. You're welcome! 🤣

 

Big congrats @OrbitingDeath incredibly well deserved.

So many HOFers!  What's your secret to player builds?

I heard through the grapevine that Idaho after retiring signed a testimonial deal with Duncan Donuts.
