The World Hockey Association Hall of Fame is an independent volunteer organization of hockey historians, journalists and former WHA coaches, players and management who are dedicated to honoring the 1972-1979 major league.
Voting for the WHA Hall of Fame was completed in 2010 by the WHA HOF Board, former WHA players and selected hockey journalists and historians.
This free Web site will grow as a collection of research materials available to the
public, and we are proud to provide the new WHA Hall of Fame DVD Series
for purchase HERE.
A brief video introduction to the honored members of the WHA HOF:
The initial induction ceremonies are taking place in Summer 2010, and the opening of the WHA HOF exhibits will be announced soon. We are currently negotiating for a physical location for the WHA Hall of Fame within an established sports institution.
And while we are accumulating an impressive collection of WHA artifacts, the WHA HOF is on the hunt throughout North America for more!
You can find information on how to help the WHA Hall Of Fame at our Contact & Contribute page.
Our sincere thanks to all who continue to support our efforts to recognize the talented people of the 1972-1979 World Hockey Association.
It is time for them
to earn their rightful due in the hockey world.
It is time for the World Hockey Association to have its own Hall of Fame.
— Timothy Gassen
WHA HOF President
