TWO-TIME Olympic gold medalist Scott Niedermayer and back-to-back Stanley Cup winning coach Fred Shero have been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Brendan Shanahan, Chris Chelios and Canadian women's player Geraldine Heaney will also be inducted at a lavish ceremony on November 11 in Toronto.
Canadian defenseman Niedermayer got in on his first year of eligibility. He won four Stanley Cup titles, including three with the New Jersey Devils, 1995, 2000 and 2003. His latest came with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007 when he was also named most valuable player of the playoffs. He played 18 seasons in the National Hockey League after being selected third overall in the 1991 entry draft by the Devils.
Niedermayer helped Canada to Olympic gold medals at the 2010 Vancouver Games and the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.
In 1,263 NHL games, Niedermayer had 568 assists and 740 points.
Canadian Shero was the coach of the Philadelphia Flyers during days of the infamous "Broad Street Bullies" teams in the 1970s. He guided the Flyers to consecutive NHL championships in 1974 and 1975.
He finished with a coaching record of 390 wins, 225 losses and 119 ties in 734 games.
Shanahan was the Devils first-round pick, chosen second overall in the 1987 draft, and joined the team as an 18-year-old that season. He won Stanley Cup titles with Detroit in 1997, 1998 and 2002, appeared in eight all-star games and was a member of Canada's 2002 gold-medal winning Olympic team.
