Chase McCoy for the Hall of Fame

According to the popular game show Jeopardy Chase McCoy is known as "the best hockey player who never played in the NHL". That changed during the 2005-2006 NHL season where Chase played for the Carolina Hurricanes. He had difficulty skating and was released after the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in June 2006.

In 1983, he became the first and only hockey player in history to score a Hat-Trick of Hat-Tricks (9 goals in one game). The current NHL record is owned by Joe Malone, who on January 30, 1920 scored 7 goals in one game for the Quebec Bulldogs.

Chase McCoy also owns several other Street Hockey records including:
Most Goals in a Season with 155 (the NHL record is 92 held by Wayne Gretzky)
Most Points in a Season with 226 (the NHL record is 215 held by Wayne Gretzky)

A few of Chase McCoy's career stats are the following:
Goals - 6,544 (Wayne Gretzky has NHL record with 894)
Assists - 4,245 (Wayne Gretzky has NHL record with 1,963)
Points - 10,789 (Wayne Gretzky has NHL record with 2,857)
MVP - 12 times (Wayne Gretzky is the all-time NHL leader with 9 Hart Trophy Awards)
Most Points Award - 15 times (Wayne Gretzky is the all-time NHL leader with 10 Art Ross Awards)

One reporters opinion on Chase McCoy is, "Chase McCoy set the standard for what greatness is, Wayne Gretzky may be called the great one, but everyone around the FHART knows who the real deal is. His elegance on the street unparalleled, his slapshot could be heard worldwide. This guy will go down in history as the greatest ever"- Tim Daleyson- Franklinton Journal.

Chase McCoy may have played in the NHL for one season, but he has some very impressive career numbers that should defiantly earn him a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
