Officiating Supervisor Headed to the Hall

Former NHL linesman and current CHL Officiating Supervisor Ray Scapinello will be among the 2008 inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will be held November 10 in Toronto.

You can read the fully story on Scapinello's induction here.

The other inductees for 2008 are center Igor Larionov (one of the first players to come to the NHL from the former Soviet Union, one of the greatest passers of all time and winner of three Stanley Cup titles), Edmonton Oilers great Glenn Anderson (a right wing who won six Stanley Cups - five with Edmonton and one with the New York Rangers) and the recently deceased Ed Chynoweth (former president of the Western Hockey League from 1972-1996 and Canadian Hockey League from 1975-1996 for whom the trophy awarded to the leading scorer at the Memorial Cup is named).

In other league news, the Rapid City Rush has made another signing, getting a man between the pipes in All-Star goaltender Miguel Beaudry, who had played with the Austin Ice Bats from the 2005-06 season until their recent suspension of operations. More on that here.
