DENIS J. PUSKA TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE HOCKEY NORTH HALL OF FAME
By Randy Russon:
The Hockey North Hall of Fame — first established in 2025 as a means of recognizing many in the game whose contributions have been mostly under-rated — has officially confirmed its class of 2026 inductees. The Hockey North Hall of Fame aims to recognize individuals with a link to the north who have made an impact on the game dating back to 1975. In alphabetical order, the class of 2026 is as follows.
Denis J. Puska - Hailing from the small northeastern Ontario town of Kapuskasing, Puska has been in the media business for 45 or so years, starting when he was a young teenager. A multi-faceted broadcast and print journalist, Puska is still a morning show radio host who also does play by play for NOJHL games up in the far reaches of northeastern Ontario as somewhat of a hidden gem.
— The 2026 Hockey North Hall of Fame induction class ceremony will be held next spring at the Machine Shop venue in Sault Ste. Marie.
