Blues honour Arbour, Jackman and Steen in Hall of Fame induction
The St. Louis Blues have honoured three key figures by inducting them into their Hall of Fame. The ceremony recognised Al Arbour, Barret Jackman, and Alexander Steen for their contributions to the team. Meanwhile, former Blues forward Kelly Chase received the annual True Blue Award while battling serious health challenges.
Al Arbour, the first captain in Blues history, was among the inductees. He later coached the team from 1970 to 1973. His leadership both on and off the ice left a lasting mark on the franchise.
Barret Jackman, a long-time defenseman, spent his entire 801-game NHL career with St. Louis. In 2003, he won the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie. His consistency and defensive skill made him a fan favourite. Alexander Steen, another inductee, played 765 games for the Blues, recording 496 points. Next season, he will take on a new role as the team’s general manager. His transition from player to executive highlights his deep connection to the organisation. Kelly Chase, known for his toughness during 345 regular-season games, holds the second-most penalty minutes in Blues history. Currently, he continues to fight Acute Myeloid Leukemia, including complications from Graft-versus-Host Disease. Despite his health struggles, the team recognised his dedication with the True Blue Award.
The Hall of Fame inductions celebrate the careers of three influential figures in Blues history. Chase’s award also highlights his enduring impact on the club. These honours reflect the team’s commitment to recognising both past achievements and ongoing resilience.
