Longtime executive Brian Burke, women's star Katie King Crowley and official Brian Murphy also are being inducted into the hall at a ceremony Dec.
6 in Boston. «It's an amazing class and a group that truly reflects extraordinary,» USA Hockey president Mike Trimboli said. «Their accomplishments are varied and far-reaching, and the positive impact they've had on the game — and will continue to have — will no doubt benefit generations to come.» Brown in 2012 became the second American captain to hoist the Stanley Cup when the Los Angeles Kings won it for the first time, and he did it again in 2014.
