BLOG: Lowe, Holland comment on HHOF inductions

EDMONTON, AB - One day after getting the fabled call to the Hall, Kevin Lowe and Ken Holland each participated in video conferences with local media on Thursday.

The current Oilers executives were named to the Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2020 on Wednesday, Lowe as a player for his career that saw him capture six Stanley Cup titles and Holland as a builder for his managerial success with the Detroit Red Wings that included four championships.

Lowe, the all-time franchise leader in regular season (1,037) and playoff (214) games played, discussed growing up in Quebec, the often underrated defensive efforts of the Oilers dynasty teams, his experiences on the international stage, and his transition into coaching and management following his playing career.

Holland, whose Red Wings won more regular season and playoff games than any other team during his 22-year tenure as GM, spoke mostly about the people who most impacted his career and said he's been overwhelmed by the number of friends, family, colleagues and players who have reached out to him via text messages and phone calls since yesterday's HHOF announcement.
