from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star,
The Hockey Hall of Fame appears ready to open its doors to women.
The hall has changed its voting procedures to make it easier for female candidates to be considered for induction.
Previously, females nominated faced huge odds in overcoming a male bias in voting – the panel was all male and favoured NHL players. The voters had been limited to inducting four players a year.
Now, the board of directors have told voters that it may induct four males and two females each year.
