I think the NSHL Hall of Fame should be reserved for players and GMs only. Coaches are just names we pull out of thin air and have nothing really to do with the league.
Here is the way I think it shoudl work.
#1: For GMs, any GM with a winning record during his stint in the NSHL and having been in the NSHL for 2 full seasons automatically gets nominated for a vote. This does not mean they automatically get in, just that we have a vote.
#2: For players, any player with 500+ NSHL pts or a 1.25 pts/game ratio automatically gets nominated after being out of the NSHL for 2 NSHL seasons.
#3: For goalies, and goalie with a sptc of .890+ and 100+ games in the NSHL gets automatically nominated after 2 seasons out of the NSHL.
#4: Any player not meeting the automatic criteria will appear on a ballot that will be sent around the NSHL following the official retirement at the end of the NSHL. Each GM places a vote and a player would then be required to get 80% of the votes to get in if he does not meet the auto requirements. A GM can place a vote for nobody to get in. Players on the ballot in this category have 5 opportunities on this ballot to get in and then they will be removed from the ballot. GMs can place up to 5 votes (for different players), on the same ballot or as few as one.
I will volunteer to look after this for the league.
