“We believe the MeiGray WHA jersey collection could be the finest and most complete in the world,” WHA HOF President Timothy Gassen says. “We are excited to partner with them at this major exhibit, which will be a rare opportunity for fans to see WHA jerseys in a historically accurate way.”
The WHA HOF has also been invited to host a booth at the MeiGray Expo, where a limited supply of WHA pucks, shirts, jerseys and DVDs will be available for sale.

See you in Winnipeg!
We're all so excited about the announcement of our WHA film premiere in Winnipeg on August 20. (See the main page at WHAhof for allt he details.)
The reunion at the event of the Jets "Hotline" -- Bobby Hull, Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson -- was one of my greatest goals, and seeing it all come together will be so great for hockey fans, especially in Winnipeg. The fact that the WHA film premiere will be for the benefit of the Amadeus Steen Foundation makes it so more meaniniful, helping children in Winnipeg.
Other WHA stars will be coming to Winnipeg as well, from all over the world, and we'll share those details as they are confirmed.
One thing is clear -- this could be our greatest WHA-related event yet!
DVD news coming next! :)
