When I first entered the league in 2017, I was sort of awestruck as to just how much history surrounds the HRL. From it's beginnings back in 2004, to now our 16th season, we have seen so many great players step inside the rinks. From the time I stepped foot in the league I was interested in the history of the league, and some of the iconic names that have come and gone. I have always found it important to honor and acknowledge the great players that have come before me, and those I play alongside each week. With the help of Epstein I have put together a list of players who have transcended the game and live in HRL immortality. These are 21 of the Greatest HRL players to ever play in this great league.
