COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- This year's U.S. Hockey Hall of
Fame class is headlined by former Boston University coach Jack Parker
and longtime NHL coach Ron Wilson.
USA Hockey announced the inductees Monday. Retired NHL official Kevin Collins, three-time Olympic women's team coach Ben Smith and 17-year NHL veteran Scott Young were also chosen.
Parker
won three national championships over 40 seasons behind the bench with
BU before retiring four years ago. One of his players was Young, who won
Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh (1991) and Colorado (1996).
Wilson
won 648 regular-season games, the most by an American head coach in
league history, over 15 seasons with five different NHL teams.
The U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, located in Eveleth, Minnesota, inducted its first class in 1973. It currently has 172 members.
