Keith Tkachuk is going into the Hockey Hall of Fame after waiting for more than
a decade and a half since his playing career in the NHL ended.
Tkachuk was elected to the Hall of Fame on Monday, less than 24 hours after his
sons became teammates when Brady was traded from Ottawa to Florida, joining
older brother Matthew.
The patriarch nicknamed "Walt" Tkachuk is part of a player class that includes
center Patrice Bergeron, who won the Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011, and
goaltenders Carey Price from Montreal and Pekka Rinne from Nashville.
U.S. women's hockey pioneer Cindy Curley and executive Brian Burke are also set
to be inducted in November.
