Leetch & Lamoriello Make It To NHL Hall of Fame

There will be something to talk about next fall other than football.

Both the Rangers and Devils will have important members of their franchises' successes over the years inducted into the league's Hall of Fame on November 9. Story.

Brian Leetch helped lead the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years during the 1994 season. He is also a winner of the Norris Trophy as the leagues' top defense man and had his number 9 retired this past season by the Rangers.

As for the Devils, the architect of what has become one of the most successful franchises in hockey will finally get honored. Lou Lamoriello, who has been the GM, and sometimes, on occasion, Head Coach of the Devils since 1987, was responsible for building a team that appeared in five Stanley Cup finals, winning three cups in 1995, 2000, and 2003.

Brett Hull and Steve Yzerman will also be inducted into the Hall in November.
