The Hockey Hall of Fame is more than just a sports museum. It is a vibrant, innovative and interactive celebration of the history of ice hockey. Walking through the almost 5,300 square meter complex, you will see an incredible collection of artifacts and exhibits that include more than 1 million archival photographs.

Mecca for Puck Fans

The Hall covers all facets and all levels of the sport, including international, world championship, Olympic and National Hockey League play. The historic collection is ever-changing and updated. You can even touch the puck that Sidney Crosby slammed into the net in overtime to help Canada beat the United States in the gold medal match at this year's Vancouver Olympics.

About 350,000 visitors from all over the world come to visit Hockey's Hall of Fame each year. The Director of Corporate and Media Relations for the Hall, Kelly Masse, points up that the NHL's championship trophy is on just about everyone's "must-see" list.

"'Where is the Stanley Cup?' That is the number-one question," Masse explains. " And now it is also people who are hearing about the Olympic medals display we have and the 2010 Olympic display and the puck you can touch - the gold-medal winning puck. That is right up there now, as well."
