Stan Fischler To Be Inducted Into International Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame On Oct. 19

Decades-long hockey writer Stan Fischler is part of the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame's Class of 2025. Fischler and the 13 other inductees, including former NBA player Amar'e Stoudemire and Argentine soccer broadcaster Andres Cantor, will be celebrated in an induction ceremony on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 10 a.m. ET. 'The Maven' continues to cover hockey from home in Israel, writing for The Hockey News' New York Rangers site and Fischler, 93, started covering the Rangers 70 years ago in 1954-55 and joined The Hockey News not long after when co-founder Ken McKenzie contacted him. His writing has also appeared in the Toronto Star, New York Times, The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated. But as a hockey historian, Fischler has authored or co-authored nearly 100 books. He was also an analyst on television for more than 40 years, covering the Hartford Whalers, New York Islanders, Rangers and New Jersey Devils, winning seven Emmy Awards along the way. The Islanders even named their press level at UBS Arena after Fischler. Fischler is a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and the New York State Hockey Hall of Fame as well. In 2007, he won the NHL's Lester Patrick Trophy for outstanding service to hockey in the United States. The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame also plans to hold induction ceremonies for the Class of 2023 on Sunday, Sept. 7, and the Class of 2024 on Sunday, Sept. 14. Members of the 2024 class include longtime NHL veteran and World Championship gold medallist Mike Cammalleri and Ellen Weinberg-Hughes, an all-star defenseman on the U.S. women's national team, three-time NCAA champion and mother of Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes. As for the 2023 class, Rudi Ball is the lone ice hockey player. He's also a member of the IIHF Hall of Fame and was one of two Jewish athletes to represent Germany in the 1936 Winter Olympics. Although there was pressure to remove him from the team due to his Jewish heritage, Ball's teammates threatened to boycott if he was excluded.
