James, Granato blaze new path as first women inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame

TORONTO – The Hockey Hall of Fame has opened its doors to women for the first time.

Canadian Angela James and American Cammi Granato each received their rings from the Hall this morning.

They were inducted alongside former NHLer Dino Ciccarelli and builder Jim Devellano.

The late Daryl (Doc) Seaman, one of the founders of the Calgary Flames, was also admitted.

They will make acceptance speeches at an official ceremony tonight.

The Hall of Fame established separate induction criteria for women this year, paving the way for James and Granato.
