NHL notebook: Brodeur headlines 6 inductees to HOF

Willie O'Ree, who broke the color barrier in 1958, and NHL commissioner Gary
Bettman were elected under the builders category. Former NHL player Martin St.
Louis, Canadian women's player Jayna Hefford and Russian player Alexander
Yakushev round out the class, which will be inducted Nov. 12 in Toronto.

Brodeur, who played in nine All-Star Games, set records for career victories
(691) and shutouts (125) during a 22-year career. He spent 21 seasons with the
New Jersey Devils and helped the franchise win three Stanley Cup crowns.

"I don't think you'll ever get used to hearing those words," Brodeur told TSN
when asked about becoming a Hall of Famer. "It's quite an honor. You don't
dream to be in the Hall of Fame. You dream about playing one day in the NHL.
And then you get greedy a little bit."
