Photos: Aces Hall of Fame

Unveiling the inaugural class for their Hall of Fame, the Alaska Aces on Thursday celebrated four players -- two prolific scorers from the franchise's professional roots and two players who helped seize the hockey club's first championship chalice -- and two men who are off-ice fixtures.

Centers Keith Street and Dean Larson were dynamic centers and linchpins for the Anchorage Aces of the now-defunct West Coast Hockey League -- that club was the forerunner of the current Aces of the ECHL.

Center Kimbi Daniels bridged the transition from the Anchorage Aces to the Alaska Aces and along with winger Mike Scott helped spearhead the drive to the ECHL's Kelly Cup in 2006.

Also picked, in the "special honorees'' category, were long-time public address announcer Bob Lester, who has spent nearly two decades bringing Sullivan Arena crowds to a frenzy, and Bobby Hill, a season ticket-holder and the team's most recognizable fan.
