Liut captured the Lester B. Pearson trophy during the 1980-81 season with St. Louis, and went on to post the NHL's best goals-against average in 1989-90 with the Whalers (2.64).

CT Hockey HOF Profile -- Ella Grasso A Connecticut native, Ella Grasso is best-known for being the first elected female governor of the state. Grasso served two terms in the United States Congress from 1970-74, and after not seeking reelection, she instead ran for governor in Connecticut. She won the election, and ended up winning a reelection bid in 1978. Grasso gained acclaim for her handling of the "Blizzard of 1978" with her closing of the state during the storm. She was also instrumental as a proponent of building the Hartford Civic Center to bring more life into the city, and was also in favor of rebuilding the arena following the collapse of the roof in January 1978. In late 1980, Grasso was diagnosed with cancer and forced to resign from her post as governor, passing away just several weeks later at the age of 61. Grasso has earned several notable honors posthumously, including her being awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor by President Ronald Reagan, and she was also inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame and the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame. Grasso was also included in the inaugural class of the Hartford Whalers Hall of Fame for her support of the building and the team in 1989.

CT Hockey Hall of Fame Profile: Jack Kelley (1989) Jack Kelley coached Boston University to NCAA championships in 1971 and 1972, while taking the Terriers to four NCAA tournaments altogether over a 10-year span. At the professional level, his Hartford Whalers teams in the professional World Hockey Association were East Division champions three times and won the AVCO Cup playoff title in 1973. While his coaching exploits at Boston University and Colby College, and later at Hartford, gained fame for Jack Kelley, he had earlier been an outstanding hockey player. In 1945 at Belmont High School, he was named the top Boston schoolboy performer. In 1949, Kelley competed on an AHAUS team and went to Boston University, leading the Terriers to the NCAA finals in 1950 and 1951. He was also named their most valuable player and all-ECAC in 1952. Kelley began his coaching career at Weston High School, where he handled football, baseball, and hockey. From 1955 to 1962, he guided Colby College to the upper echelon of ECAC hockey. The lure of coaching his alma mater brought Kelley back to BU in 1962, and in addition to their national success, his teams won six Beanpot Tournament titles. "We were about half Canadians in those days, but we had a lot of great players and some balanced teams, " Kelley recollected. When the rebel WHA organized, Kelley formed the Whalers franchise and helped US and collegiate players obtain professional opportunities. Kelley's overall college coaching record <b>...</b>
