The Russian Hockey Federation have used the opening day of the Sochi Olympics hockey medal round to announce the establishment of the Russian Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Russians have never had a physical Hall of Fame museum to properly honour their legends. They have always honoured hockey greats with the Honoured Master of Sports designation.
146 players have been given that title over the years, dating back to 1948. More than 40 living members were on hand for the announcement of the new Hall of Fame. The new museum will be built in Moscow and is expected to be part of a new sports complex which includes three arenas. They also announced future honourees will be decided upon by a Council of Hockey Fame and inductees will be limited to four per year.
The inaugural Russian Hall of Fame inductions will include all 146 Honoured Master of Sports. Those 146 players/coaches are:
