Hockey Hall of Fame

[edit]

In 1941, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) appointed a committee to write a history of hockey in Canada, led by James T. Sutherland, including W. A. Hewitt and Quebec hockey executive George Slater.[1][2] In 1943, the committee concluded that hockey had been played in Canada since 1855, and that Kingston and Halifax had equal claims to be the birthplace of hockey, since both cities hosted games played by the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment. The report also stated that Kingston had the first recognized hockey league in 1885, which merged into the Ontario Hockey Association in 1890.[3][4] A delegation from Kingston then went to the CAHA general meeting in 1943, and was endorsed to establish a Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston.[2]

In September 1943, Hewitt was named to the board of directors for selecting inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and sought recommendations by sportswriters from The Canadian Press and the Associated Press.[5] He was named chairman and secretary of the board of governors in 1944,[6] and the CAHA agreed to donate 25 per cent of its profits from the 1945–46 season to help erect a building for the hall of fame.[7] In May 1945, Hewitt announced that nine players were the first group of inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.[8] In October 1945, a special committee chosen by the board of governors named six "builders of hockey" to be added to the inaugural group of inductees.[9]

The Hockey Hall of Fame committee was incorporated in 1948, and elected an additional seven to its board of governors to give representation to a broader area.[10] Hewitt remained on the board of governors until 1950.[11] By September 1955, a building for the hall of fame had not been constructed in Kingston, when a group of businessmen from Toronto were given approval for a hall of fame building which opened at Exhibition Place in Toronto in 1961. A separate International Hockey Hall of Fame later opened in Kingston in 1965.[2]

[edit]
  • 2006–2022. Switzerland international youth hockey supervisor.[9] Graf created and implemented the FTEM (Foundation, Talent, Elite, Mastery) program in Switzerland.[6][7] Graf was head of training at Swiss Ice Hockey for more than 18 years.[8] Graf spent eight years on the International Ice Hockey Federation development and coaching committee.[6][7]
  • 2006–2022. Graf transitioned to grassroots level hockey, becoming the director of youth sports and development for the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation (SIHF). It was here that he discovered his true milieu, working with young players to help them reach their true potential, be it at the professional level or local level. He emphasized the concept of “hockey is more” meaning that there is more to life than hockey, and that hockey can help develop many skills and traits to be used away from the ice. Graf created a FTEM program (Foundation, Talent, Elite, Mastery) which the Swiss federation adopted as its mantra, and he was also part of the IIHF's cevelopment and coaching committee for eight years. He later created the guidelines for "SWISSMADEHOCKEY" to train junior-aged players in his country, and his "Umbrella" program called for more local and regional support of players. During Covid-19, Graf developed virtual programs to allow coaches and players to continue to learn, despite the lack of in-person opportunities.[2]
  • 2011. Graf instructed at coaching camps in Manitoba.[11]
  • 2022–2024. SIHF director of recruitment and education. Stepped down May 31, 2024, replaced by Thomas Zamboni.[9]
  • 2023. From member recruitment, to sponsor acquisition, to legal issues: The Club Management training from Swiss Olympic and Swiss Ice Hockey is a training course for club board members. Markus Graf, Director Education at Swiss Ice Hockey.[14]
  • 2023. Discussing limits on foreign players in Swiss leagues: The problem is that most of them are not key players, says Markus Graf. "If you have a Swiss Abroad with this license in the second or third line, this can help you. But then you can also use a Swiss." From the 2026/27 season there will be an adjustment in the regulations: Then the age of the licensed Swiss will be limited to a maximum of 22 years. Dealing with the licensed players is a difficult balancing act, Graf said. "A foreigner can strengthen the structure and boost competition." But if there are too many, the Swiss will no longer have a chance.[15]
  • 2024. Graf has contributed with his training program to Switzerland as a hockey country not only developing top players such as Nico Hischier and Nino Niederreiter under his slogan "swissmadehockey", but also to Switzerland's approach to the world's top as a team. Highly qualified "coaching training" played a key role for Graf. Under the "impact" youth concept, he also defined guidelines for popular sport and recording. With its quality management "label", the SIHF today honors good training work in the clubs.[16]
  • 2024. Graf's retirement postponed, step in as interim CEO of the Ice Hockey Association while the search for Patrick Bloch's successor. Interview: Where should the best coaches work? Sure, in the professional team. Or is it? Wouldn't the children in particular benefit if they could learn from the best during basic training? This question is not quite so easy to answer, says Graf. He developed the so-called label system in Swiss ice hockey, which allows clubs to measure the quality of their training. In the last years of his work, Graf was mainly concerned with the training of coaches.[17]
  • 2024. Graf was head of training in Swiss ice hockey for the last 18 years, mainly responsible for coach training, spoke about why the training of coaches should not be neglected.[18] Graf always attaches importance to coach training, which is at least as important as that of the players. Why is that? The coach can become the player's strongest reference person at certain ages. If the athlete trusts the coach, the coach's behavior and knowledge are very important. Just like his ability to impart this knowledge. The demands on a junior coach are getting bigger and bigger. Especially in team sports, he can shape the personality of players.[18] Potential national players are often trained in the small clubs at first. That's why the youth coaches of those clubs must also be supported as well as possible. Even in the National League, coaches occasionally criticize the basic training of the Swiss professionals. What do you say when, for example, Swiss defenders talk about having only learned important basics, the assistant coach of our national team?[18] Do we have enough junior coaches in Swiss ice hockey? We have enough at the moment. But additional assistants always help to improve the quality of the training sessions. But you can also hear the complaints from the registration level that too few coaches have to take care of too many children. In order to have good people at the grassroots level, you need the appropriate framework conditions. The association would have to work daily with the clubs on how to create even better conditions.[18] What should the trainer be able to do at capture level? Above all, it must be able to inspire the children. My basic mission was always: Don't be their last coach! Or to put it positively: Make sure that the child wants to come back to you the next day. This has nothing to do with victories, but with appreciation and motivation.[18]
  • 2024. Graf retirement delayed, already relinquished his position as director education, but still leading the Swiss Ice Hockey Association as CEO on an interim basis.[8]
  • 2024. Departing CEO Patrick Bloch will be supporting Swiss Ice Hockey until the end of September. In his stead, Markus Graf, former longtime Director Education and board member of the SIHF, will take over ad interim, together with the federation's directors. He will postpone his retirement until a new CEO has been found.[19] As part of the succession to the CEO position, the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation has organised the transition process internally. The secretariat will be headed on an interim basis by Markus Graf, who previously held the position of Director Education. Patrick Bloch will continue to support Swiss Ice Hockey until the end of September 2024. Markus Graf, Director Education and member of the SIHF Executive Board for many years, will assume partial responsibility towards the Board of Directors and will manage the secretariat in collaboration with the SIHF directors during the transition phase until the new CEO takes office. Markus Graf will therefore postpone his retirement until the handover to the future CEO.[20]
  • 2024. The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation (SIHF) has announced the appointment of Martin Baumann as its new CEO, effective November 4, 2024. With Baumann's arrival, Markus Graf, who served as interim CEO for the past two months, will step down from his role at the end of October 2024.
