The Hockey Hall of Fame

Eric at Off Wing Opinion jogged my memory with this post.

About 6 years ago I was up in Toronto on business and me and my friend Bill had a couple hours to kill between appointments so we decided to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The HoF is housed in an old bank that is connected to a mall. Entrance to the HoF is via the mall and you enter into what is basically the basement of the bank building. You are greeted with interactive exhibits like seeing how fast your slap shot is or how accurate can you shoot a puck. There are also a bunch of videos from important moments in the history of hockey. At the time there was also a Wayne Gretzky exhibit. After about an hour and a half - Bill and I had seen it all (or so we thought) so we left.

At dinner Bill was looking through the Hall of Fame guide and said, "Hey did you know there was an upstairs?"

Me, "What?"

"Yeah, there's an upstairs and that's where they keep the Stanley Cup and all the plaques."

"No kidding - oh well."
