 | |  |  | Hockey Hall of Fame: VISIT THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
In 1993, the HOCKEY HALL OF FAME (HHOF) opened the doors of its current home on Yonge Street, in the magnificently restored Bank of Montreal building. The HHOF quickly established a reputation as a world-class sports and entertainment facility and one of Toronto's prime tourist attractions. The highlight of any visit to HHOF is the MCI Great Hall. The core sanctuary holds portraits and biographical sketches of each honoured member of the Hockey Hall of fame, including such greats as Mike Bossy, Bobby Clarke, Paul Coffey, Alex Delvecchio, Ken Dryden, Phil and Tony Esposito, Grant Fuhr, Wayne Gretzky, Tim Horton, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Ted Lindsay, Frank Mahovlich, Stan Mikita, Bobby Orr, Pocket Rocket Richard, Larry Robinson, Terry Sawchuk and so many more.

| | | | Hockey Hall of Fame: Ice Hockey | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
I am just not really into ice hockey at all. So I took a picture of the Hockey Hall of Fame from the bus, but I had no inclination to go see it. OTOH it is probably a must see for most people, especially Canadians. So here's the info General Admission $12.00 Youth (4 yrs - 13 yrs) $8.00 Seniors (65yrs+) $8.00 Children 3 and under admitted free Admission rates include 7% GST and a $1.50 capital replacement fund contribution Winter / Spring / Summer / Fall (except March & Christmas Breaks) Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday 9:30 am to 6:00 pm Sunday 10:30 am to 5:00 pm March Break (March 8 - March 16, 2003) Monday to Saturday 9:30 am to 6:00 pm Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm Christmas Break (December 26 - December 31, 2003) Monday to Saturday 9:30 am to 6:00 pm Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm Please note that there is no public access through the front doors of the historic bank building at Yonge and Front Streets. "Although the average visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame is 3 hours, your admission is for the whole day. You'll receive a hand stamp, and you can leave and re-enter as many times as you want (for example, to grab lunch or visit another attraction). Many people spend an entire day with us, or combine a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame with a sporting event or visit to the theatre)."

| | | | Hockey Hall of Fame: Take a gander at hockey's Holy Grail. | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The Hockey Hall of Fame was the only bright spot on my last trip to Toronto. The weather was hot and muggy, the people were short and agressive, and the city itself is concrete on concrete, cement on cement. The Hockey Hall of Fame, however, is an absolute treat. So, if you're unfortunate enough to get stuck in TO for a few days, take in the hall. The exhibits are fabulous, with memorabilia from every era conceivable. Even casual sports fans are wowed by some of the goaltending equipment on display; the wall of masks itself is worth the price of admission. There are odes to hockey's greatest players, tributes to its greatest teams, and huge exhibits for the Original Six, the Great One, and the Stanley Cup. And who doesn't want to see the Cup? There's a certain magic that goes with this, sport's most famous trophy. The lore associated with Lord Stanley's mug is so variant, it sounds like fiction. The Cup has been punted into the bottom of swimming pools by showoff Chicago Blackhawk scoring legends, danced on by seedy Edmonton strippers, and left on a street corner by drunken Montreal Canadiens who piled into a post-party cab. (It sat in a passerby's living room for almost a week before he called to say he'd found hockey's Holy Grail.) It's been groped, fondled, kissed, caressed, slept with, sweat upon, drunk out of, and pissed in (not necessarily in that order, and hopefully not all in the same night). It's legendary, and worth a gander for even non-sports fans. I'll write more later, and hopefully I'll find my pictures -- this place is like a cathedral for the sporting soul.
