Former NHL goaltender Pekka Rinne has been selected for induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The announcement was made Monday evening in Toronto by the Hall of Fame’s 18-member selection committee. Rinne was in Toronto at the time, spending the evening with former hockey players he admired during his youth. The official induction ceremony will be held in Toronto on November 9th.
