Michigan has announced its seven-member 2019 Hall of Honor class, which includes former goaltender Hal Downes.<\/p>\n
The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Nov. 15 at the Richard L. Postma Clubhouse at the U-M golf course. Criteria for consideration includes being an NCAA champion or member of a national championship team, an All-American, Olympic medalist, Olympic team member, professional league champion or world championship team medalist\/member, NCAA or conference player of the year, conference champion, record holder or all-conference award winner.<\/p>\n
Downes led Michigan to an NCAA title in 1951, making 19 saves in a 7-1 victory over Brown. He earned All-American and NCAA Frozen Four All-Tournament team honors during his lone season with the Wolverines.<\/p>\n
Less than a year after leading U-M to their second of nine national championships, Downes was called to serve his country in the Korean War. In 1952, Air Force Lt. Hal Downes’ B-26 Marauder went down after the plane’s engines stopped working during a bombing mission over North Korea and was declared MIA. All living POWs were returned to the U.S. in 1953 but Downes remained listed as MIA.<\/p>\n
He will become the 22nd inductee for hockey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
