Carolina Hurricanes goaltending coach Tom Barrasso was named to the United States’ Hockey Hall of Fame’s Class of 2009 as a player, one of five inductees to be enshrined.
The others include the late Frank Zamboni, the inventor of the Zamboni ice resurfacer, Tony Amonte, who scored the winning goal against Canada to clinch the inaugaral World Cup of Hockey in 1996, John LeClair, the first American-born player to have three consecutive 50-goal seasons in the NHL, and the 1998 U.S. Olympic Women’s Hockey Team, which captured gold in Nagano, Japan.
