The Hockey Maven is going to the US Hockey Hall of Fame.
Stan Fischler was named to the 2021 US Hockey Hall of Fame class on Thursday, as the legendary hockey writer and broadcaster received one of the highest hockey honors in the United States.
Fischler was announced in a class with Paul Holmgren, the longtime player, coach, GM and current senior advisor to the Philadelphia Flyers, and former player-turned-broadcaster Peter McNab.
"I am grateful, very grateful for the honor," Fischler said. "I have three priorities in life. My first priority, by far, is family, followed by health and hockey. Hockey has been part of my life since my father took me to a game in 1939 and I never stopped going to hockey games."
