New HHOF Legends Mobile Exhibit Unveiled

Friday, May 2, 2008 saw the unveiling of the Hockey Hall of Fame`s newest outreach initiative with a brand-new 2,000+ square foot Legends of Hockey exhibit system.

Returning to the scene of the Hall of Fame`s first large-scale outreach display (at Rendez-vous `87), Quebec City, Quebec, the new exhibit, along with an interactive game set-up from Top Shot Hockey, was unveiled in the FanFest zone at the 2008 IIHF World Championship. Designed and funded in conjunction with the International Ice Hockey Federation, it celebrates not only the history of the game, but the IIHF`s 100th anniversary season. The new exhibit features 20 different themes and almost 200 unique artifacts (including Wayne Gretzky, the NHL`s Original Six Teams and the IIHF`s top hockey playing nations) and promises to thrill audiences with colourful large-scale graphics components featuring both the old and the new of the hockey world.

The World Championship FanFest will run throughout the duration of the tournament, from May 2-18 and is open to the public from 10am - 9pm daily.
