Among those inducted by the St. Louis Blues into their second-ever Hall of Fame class are former Vancouver Canucks forward Pavol Demitra, goaltender Mike Liut and forward Keith Tkachuk.
Demitra spent parts of 16 seasons in the National Hockey League, with his final two coming as a member of the Vancouver Canucks where he had 69 points (23 goals, 46 assists) in 97 games. During his last NHL season at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, he also represented his nation, Slovakia. Demitra helped Slovakia reach the Bronze Medal Game, where they lost to Finland, but he played a crucial role in their 4-3 quarter-final win over Sweden, recording three points.
In 2011, while with KHL club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, Demitra passed away following a plane crash.
