Today, the Owner/GM of the Doppelgangers Handball franchise issued a statement regarding the team's Hall of Fame:

While we don't wish to diminish the contributions of any of the fine athletes who have played for our organization over the years, we do believe that our team's Hall of Fame should be reserved for generational talents... the absolute best of the best."

"To sate fans, we have constructed the following check-list for them to use when submitting their Hall of Fame requests in the future. From our perspective, the following requirements set appropriately lofty standards for our franchise's greatest honor."
