Defenseman Rod Langway, center Bernie Federko, left wing Clark Gillies and coach Roger Neilson are inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Langway played 15 seasons in the NHL, 11 with Washington, and won the Norris Trophy twice. Federko played 14 seasons in the league, 13 of them with St. Louis; a great playmaker, he was the first player ever to record 50 assists in 10 straight seasons. Gillies played 14 years, 12 of them with the Islanders; he could score and he could mix it up with anyone, serving as an integral component of New York’s four straight Stanley Cup titles (1980-83). Neilson coached several teams over a 25-year career and was an early proponent of using video to scout opponents before it became commonplace.
