On the other hand, Builders can be active in the national Hockey League. Builders include positions like coaching, management, and executives.

Builders are limited to 2 provided no Referee/Linesman is selected. If the Referee/Linesman limit of 1 per year is achieved, Builders are limited to one that year.

Inductees can only be nominated by members of the Selection Committee with each member only being able to nominate one potential inductee per category. The Selection Committee is comprised of 18 members appointed by the Board of Directors. To gain entry as a member to the Hall, a nominee must receive at least 75% of the Selection Committee votes.
