The former defenseman and current Nashville Predators assistant coach finished off his induction speech by thanking the Jofa helmet that earned him plenty of playful ridicule despite his distinguished career:
"I know I've taken a lot of grief over the years for this helmet, but I thought I'd bring it out one more time," he said, before pulling out the headgear.
Housley ranks second among American-born players and fourth among all defensemen with 1,232 points in 1,495 career games, but he may never live down that helmet.
