It is my honor to announce this seasons Hall of Fame Nominees.

They are as follows:

Jean-Paul Laviolette(373520)

JP is an original draft pick of the Montreal Rockets who are still one of Canada's top teams and has proven to be a top trainer. His 47 games on the National team during a time where there were plenty of top end player are his claim to "The Fame". This players strength was his offensive talent evident by the fact he often put up huge numbers, including an average of 36.7 in season 5.

Geoff Abbott (4472574)

Mr. Abbott was and still is one of Canada's finest SF's ever. He has had a significant role on the National team since season 7, and will likely continue to be a huge factor for the coming years. Originally drafted in season 4 by Devils Advocates, Abbott is fortunated to have landed on a premier owners team. Versatility is clearly the name of Abbotts game as he is a player that can play multiple positions on the floor and and has the ability to dominate thru mismatches.

Téo Saint-Arnaud (6676028)

TSA, that pretty puch says it all. If you get a nickname like that and it becomes recognized the way TSA has, you know you made it. Teo is on of Canada's finest players ever produced, in fact he is one of the Worlds top PF's and has proven it on many occasions. Drafted in Season 6 by Pani Train PRO, TSA made his National team debut as an U21 player in season 9. In total he has played in a whopping 61 NT games and that number will only grow.

Gary Milot (6675490)

A player of Gary's quality once managed to fetch over 8 million on the transfer market. And well deserved as he was one of Canada's premier guards. Due to some mismanagement Gary found himself outside the National team loooking in but that should not tarnish his contributions. He played in 57 NT games to date and was a player that had the ability to change games with his sellar defence and slick passing.

Write ups to come later tonight for each player, unless someone beats me to it!

I was thinking about beating you to it, but NT writeups are calling ;)
Anyways I figured I should vote for Laviolette, I figure if we don't vote in the veterans now people will soon forget about them.

Abbott for me, I agree with the above. I would've thought about Milot if he had a share of the votes.

I think Laviolette was way before my time, and TSA is still a huge part of the Canadian NT. He'll definitely make the HoF at some point. Maybe even out of this class.
