IIHF Hall of Fame Welcomes Five

It looks like I will have to focus my attention more amongst my collection of legends over in the international section.

From IIHF.com:

Hiti, Kasatonov, Suchy, Bush & Schell to IIHF Hall of Fame

ZURICH – The 2009 IIHF Hall of Fame will induct five new members on May 5th in Bern, Switzerland. Rudi Hiti (SLO), Alexei Kasatonov (RUS) and Jan Suchy (CZE) will be added to the players’ category. Walter Bush Jr. (USA) will be honored as builder while Hungarian referee Laszlo Schell completes the class. The IIHF Hall of Fame has grown to include 155 greats from 22 countries.

The induction ceremony will take place on May 5, 2009 in Berne, Switzerland at the 73rd IIHF World Championships

Jan Suchy is the only one of the five I have currently profiled. Suchy, the father of former NHLer Radoslav Suchy, was a heck of a defenseman. Read his full profile here.
