Soviet goaltender Vladislav Tretiak was among six players nominated for election to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The other nominees were Bill Barber of the Philadelphia Flyers; Ted Green, a defenseman who played with Boston in the NHL and New England and Winnipeg of the World Hockey Assn.; Steve Shutt of the Montreal Canadiens and the Kings; Darryl Sittler, who played with Toronto, Philadelphia and Detroit, and Ed Westfall, a forward who played with Boston and the New York Islanders.

To be elected, a player must receive at least three-quarters of the votes from the 12-man Hall of Fame selection committee. No more than three players can be elected in one year.
