A maximum of four players are permitted to be enshrined in a given year. In order to achieve such a status, the candidate will need to appear on 75 percent of the selection committee members’ ballots. The Hall of Fame guides voters to judge eligible players based upon ability, character, sportsmanship and contributions to their team(s), as well as the game as a whole. The vote is conducted via secret ballot, which allots a maximum of four votes (in the player category) per committee member.
The 18-member selection committee is made up of the following individuals, via the Hockey Hall of Fame’s website:
* James Gregory, Co-Chair
* Pat Quinn, Co-Chair
