Why Has Jeremy Roenick Been Rejected by the Hockey Hall of Fame?

Описание: Jeremy Roenick has been blackballed by the Hockey Hall of Fame. But why?

Jeremy Roenick was one of the premier players of his generation and one of the greatest American stars the NHL has ever known.. After making his debut with the Chicago Blackhawks as a teenager, Roenick thrilled fans with his flashy style, take-no-prisoners approach, and jaw-dropping skills. A 9-time All Star, Roenick played 18-NHL seasons and racked up over 500 goals and 1400 penalty minutes.

Roenick’s competitive fire was unmatched and is best illustrated with his conflicted –and often painful - relationships with USA hockey peers Tony Amonte, Derian Hatcher and Mike Modano.

But his high-intensity persona extended off the ice and resulted in a series of controversial events that have often overshadowed his on-ice achievements.

Let’s take an in-depth look at the fascinating career of Jeremy Roenick and examine why – despite all he achieved as an NHL player — the man they call JR has been ignored by the Hockey Hall of Fame.
