Pioneers are made of tough stuff. No one knows this better than one of Canada's greatest ice hockey players, Angela James. A four-time world champion in
women's ice hockey who also won a world championship in roller hockey, James
was a brilliant goal scorer who was among the first women inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame alongside Cammi Granato in 2010. A respected role model,
the Toronto community she grew up in has named a local hockey rink the Angela

Herb Carnegie
Date of Birth: January 18, 1919
Member Category: Athlete
Herb Carnegie was likely one of the best ever players to never play pro-league hockey. He starred in Quebec senior hockey leagues in the 1940s and '50s. A smooth skating centre, Carnegie trained hard and following an outstanding junior career joined the Perron Flyers in Northern Quebec, eventually landing with Shawinigan Falls in the Quebec Provincial League before moving to Sherbrooke. With the Sherbrooke Saints, Carnegie, his brother Ossie, and a third black player, Manny McIntyre from Fredericton, formed one of the most successful lines in league history. Learn more
Willie O'Ree
Date of Birth: October 15, 1935
Member Category: Builder
Willie O’Ree discovered his extraordinary passion for ice hockey at an early age, practicing on a homemade rink in his backyard and skating to school whenever the weather allowed. Growing up in one of only two black families in Fredericton in the 1930’s, Willie began to dream when he was 14 years old of playing ice hockey professionally in the National Hockey League (NHL). This was a goal that demanded tremendous courage, drive and perseverance, as no black athlete had ever played in the NHL before. Learn more

Bryan Trottier
Date of Birth: July 17, 1956
Member Category: Athlete
In the world of ice hockey, Bryan Trottier’s accomplishments
are legendary. What makes those accomplishments even more spectacular is where
it all humbly began, out on the freshly flooded pond made by a beaver dam.
Bryan remembers learning how to skate and shoot just like all the other kids,
spending hours honing the skills that would eventually help him become a hockey
superstar.
Fondly nicknamed “Trots” Bryan’s accomplishments over the
years have made him legendary both on and off the ice. As a major junior
player, he was named Most Valuable Player for both the Western Canadian Hockey
League and the World Hockey Championships during the 1974-1975 season. At 18,
the NHL’s New York Islanders drafted Bryan. Over an 18-year career, led his
teams to the Stanley Cup six times, 1980-1983, 1991, 1992 adding a Stanley Cup
win as an Assistant Coach in 2001.
