Interactive Excitement
Some of the most popular attractions are the interactive exhibits. They include state-of-the art games where visitors can get in the net and try to stop simulated shots from NHL legends like Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, or test their shooting skills against video goalies.
Alexandre Cousineau is a 16-year-old from Montreal, who was visiting Toronto to see the Hall. Surprisingly, the Canadian teen said he came to check out an exhibit on his favorite team - this year's Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks.
"I have always been a [Chicago] Blackhawks fan," Cousineau says. "I was crazy when they won the [Stanley] Cup this year. And there is a movie about the Blackhawks at the Hall of Fame and I really enjoyed it. That remembered me [brought back] some memories. It is really a great place and I think I will probably come again."
Ever-Evolving Hockey History
The Hall continues to expand each year, begging the question: How do they get all of the artifacts? Kelly Masse says the Hall is a registered charity and the players donate their memorabilia.
"We do not pay for anything so it is all donations, and all about wanting to keep the history of hockey relevant and up to date," Masse says. "We have some amazing guys in our resource center, curators that go to major events, Olympics, World Championships, Stanley Cup - any milestone game. And they actually go into the dressing room and say, 'Can we get this for the Hockey Hall of Fame so fans from all over the world can see it?' And most of the hockey players - women and men - are hockey fans and they have been here. So they know what it is about."
