Last November 2003 Roy Hysen and Patti Trofimenkoff visited the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. We gave the team game jersey worn by veteran Mark Couture # 27 as well game stick to the Hockey Hall of Fame. In addition, the gold medal donated to us by the Sweden Deaf Sports Association won by Canada Deaflympic Hockey Association. The gold medal will be put on display for the public in the future. Mike Merriman donated his game wore jersey worn # 19 as well as his gold medal to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999. It was seen and put on displays in Toronto, Washington, D.C. Far East tours etc.
During our tour at the Hockey Hall of Fame, Mr. Campbell assured us that they would set up our own deaf hockey display instead of sharing with other disabled hockey organizations such as Canada Sledge Hockey and Paralympic Hockey team. It was agreed that we would provide them with the information instead of using the phrase "Hearing-Impaired Hockey Team". As well "Deaf Hockey History".
