We hope to make avaialble in early June the new WHA HOF hockey pucks, T-shirts and the first installment of WHA HOF hockey cards.
We'll also meet soon with one of the founders of the WHA, Dennis Murphy, and will share excerpts of that video interview online...
And WHA fans should get ready to pack their bags for a very special event in Winnipeg -- official announcement coming soon!

big week for the WHA HOF
Just got off the phone with WHA All-Star Robbie Ftorek. Robbie was one of the most explosive offensive stars of the WHA, one of my first American-born hockey heros, and was a WHA league MVP, too. Hockey fans would recognize him, of course, behind the bench over the past decases as an NHL head coach. Robbie is another of the WHA stars who is helping us with the WHA HOF, as we'll announce soon!
We're finalizing another big event for the WHA HOF this week. After months of behind-the-scenes work, in the next few weeks we hope to launch a slew of new developments publicly. It'll seem this all has happend at once, but it's been many months in the works.
Many thanks again to all the former WHA players and staff who are making this possible!

more WHA Hall of Famers
We've been lucky to find more WHA players recently, including some recently elected in to the HOF. Andre Lacroix. of course, is the all-time WHA scorer, and Ron Grahame, one of the finest goalies in league history. We're delighted to find them and thank them for their help.
Andre Lacroix wrote to us this past week, "The WHA has done so much for hockey and many individuals who have gone on to the NHL as players, coaches, managers, trainers, scouts need to thank the WHA for giving them the exposure and opportunity that they would have never had otherwise. I am very happy to be elected with the rest of the players. They were not only great players but also great individuals."
Congratulations Andre and Ron!
We're very close to announcing some big projects -- this should be a big summer for the WHA HOF!
We're also working on creating a WHA hockey card section for the site, with hundreds of vintage WHA card images. Stay tuned! :)
