The third-longest tenured professional hockey league, behind only the National Hockey League and the American Hockey League, the Premier "ËAA' Hockey League has grown from five teams in four states in 1988-89 into a coast-to-coast league with 23 teams in 16 states for its 25th Anniversary season in 2012-13.
Hall of Fame members are selected in four categories: Player, Developmental Player, Builder, and Referee/Linesman. Players must have concluded their career as an active player for a minimum of three playing seasons, though not continuous or full seasons. Development Players must have began their career in the ECHL and went on to a distinguished career in the NHL, playing a minimum of 260 regular season games in the NHL, AHL and ECHL.
