Blues to honour Keith Tkachuk with ceremonial puck drop Nov. 14
St. Louis will celebrate the former forward’s Hockey Hall of Fame induction before Saturday’s game against Florida.
Keith Tkachuk will drop the ceremonial puck when the St. Louis Blues host the Florida Panthers at Enterprise Center on Nov. 14. The Blues confirmed the pregame ceremony on Monday, the day Tkachuk is set to enter the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Tkachuk told the Blues he missed the first calls about his induction. When he recognised the number, he stepped outside and heard the news from Ron Francis.
St. Louis acquired Tkachuk from the Phoenix Coyotes in March 2001. He scored 208 goals and recorded 427 points in 543 regular-season games with the Blues. He is set to become the 27th former Blues player inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, according to the club.
