DENVER (AP) - Bobby Carpenter, the first American-born player to score 50 goals in an NHL season, will be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in October.
The newest class of members that includes goalie John Vanbiesbrouck, forward Aaron Broten and former Michigan Tech coach John MacInnes was revealed Wednesday by USA Hockey. Induction ceremonies will be held in Grand Forks, N.D., on Oct. 13.
Carpenter became the first player to jump from high school to the NHL when he did it in 1981. He scored 50 goals in the 1984-85 season with Washington, and went on to a 19-year career in the NHL.
