lots of new WHA HOF media online

Check out the WHA Events page for a complete re-cap of our recent WHA HOF induction events in Hartford, Winnipeg & Cleveland and also New Jersey. I've rounded up some of the web links to various media reports, plus have posted a couple of our own new video features, including a museum tour of WHA Jets artifacts.

Still to come are longer video features on the first WHA HOF game, official photo galleries for all the induction events, and the cutting of the hour-long video interview in Winnipeg with Bobby Hull, Anders Hedberg & Ulf Nilsson!

There are also some reviews of our new WHA HOF hockey card set and many new updates at our Facebook page. What was that I wrote about grabbing a nap in one of my recent posts, lol?

WHA HOF summer tour recap

We are finally home after our 20,000 mile 2010 WHA Hall of Fame summer tour! A WHA jersey show in the NYC area, the WHalers FanFest with Gordie & 4,700 fans in Hartford, the enormous reception for Bobby Hull and the Hotline in Winnipeg, and out first WHA Hall of Fame game in Cleveland this past weekend. Oh, and the film premieres for our new WHA documentary films!

I'm busy accumulating media from all the events -- if you were at any of them and have any photos or video to contribute, please contact us. In the coming weeks I'll load a LOT of it online to share the excitement.

I'll also write stories soon for each event -- but I can tell you now that we are overwhelemed with the support and enthusiasm of the fans. They want the WHA Hall of Fame to succeed, and they want more events, documentaries and a factually accurate museum displayf or the WHA.

After I get a few hours of sleep I'll get right back to work on giving the people what they want! ;)
