Vernon was announced Wednesday as part of the 2023 class, which includes fellow goalies Henrik Lundqvist and Tom Barrasso, along with Pierre Turgeon, Caroline Ouellette, coach Ken Hitchcock (Builder), and GM Pierre Lacroix (Builder).
"I'd like to first thank the Hall of Fame for this great honour," said Vernon. "The game has meant a lot to me throughout my life. My family, we grew up a hockey family and it was bred in us at a very young age. This is just quite the honour and I'm just flabbergasted."
Check back tomorrow when Flames TV's Brendan Parker sits down with Vernon to talk about the honour in a 1-on-1 chat.
