Aug. 23: Hockey Hall of Fame inducts Harvey, four others

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: Aug. 23
1973:
Doug Harvey
, a defenseman who's a cornerstone of the Montreal Canadiens during their dynasty in the 1950s, is among five inductees to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Though Harvey never reaches double figures in goals or finishes a season with more than 50 points, he wins the
Norris Trophy
as the NHL's top defenseman a record seven times (a mark since broken by
Bobby Orr
), and is a First-Team All-Star 10 times. He also plays on six Stanley Cup-winning teams with the Canadiens.
But Harvey is nowhere to be found at the ceremony, where goalie
Chuck Rayner
, pre-NHL star Tommy Smith, longtime referee Frank Udvari and former Canadiens owner Hartland Molson are also inducted. He's angered by the fact he wasn't inducted the previous year alongside
Gordie Howe
and longtime Montreal teammates
Jean Beliveau
and
Bernie Geoffrion
, so he boycotts the ceremony.
Harvey is named to the
100 Greatest NHL Players
in 2017.
