World hockey champion Maxime Sushinski believes that the former striker “Detroit” Pavel Datsyuk deserves to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
On Tuesday, it was announced that the Olympic champion will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2024. A Russian entered the Hockey Hall of Fame for the first time since 2019, when it was defenseman Sergei Zubov.
– A big event. I am very happy for Pasha. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
—Are there any other Russian hockey players candidates for induction into the Hall of Fame?
– How can we discuss this? Pacha has finished his career and they are still active players. When they achieve the same success as Pavel, then we will talk about it. There are a lot of candidates,” Sushinsky was quoted as saying by the Championship.
Datsyuk is 45 years old, he won the Stanley Cup twice with Detroit, and together with the Russian national team he won gold at the Olympics and the World Championship.
The 2024 Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for November 11.
