NEW YORK (June 27, 2011) – After wrapping up a successful 2010-11 NHL campaign, the NHL Network™ team is continuing its live programming momentum with special coverage of the 2011 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee  announcement tomorrow.

On Tuesday, June 28, NHL Network U.S. will air TSN’s coverage of the 2011 Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee announcement at 3:00 p.m. ET.  Bill Hay, HHOF CEO and Chairman of the Board, and Jim Gregory and Pat Quinn,

NHL Network’s daily signature show NHL Live™ will begin their broadcast to both U.S. and Canadian audiences immediately following the announcement at 3:30 p.m. ET with hosts Bill Pidto and EJ Hradek.  NHL Live will cover the announcement with interviews from hockey personalities, historical features and fan reaction.

With a bevy of players and builders eligible this year, OTF’s Brian Duff and colleague Brad May will have plenty to talk about on a special edition of NHL On The Fly at 6:00 p.m. ET. They will review the selections and provide viewers with the career highlights and off-ice contributions each made to deserve the prestigious recognition onto one of hockey’s most exclusive clubs.
