Montville — New England Black Wolves assistant coach Tracey Kelusky was named Thursday as one of five finalists for the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame.

Two new nominees, Josh Sanderson and John Tavares, join three finalists returning from 2015 in Kevin Finneran, Kelusky and Gavin Prout. Voting will be conducted by the teams, current members of the NLL Hall of Fame and senior members of the league's media.

Kelusky played 14 seasons in the league with Calgary (2003-10), where he served as team captain and won two Champion's Cups (2004, 2009), Columbus (2001), Montreal (2002), Buffalo (2011-13) and Philadelphia (2014). He retired with the 11th-most goals (383) and points (823) in league history and 13th-most games played (195) along with 886 loose balls.

Kelusky won the 2001 NLL Rookie of the Year award and 2007 Sportsmanship Award. The five-time All-Pro (2001-05) forward ranks 10th all-time in NLL career playoff goals (37). He finished his career second in Roughnecks franchise history in goals, assists and points and had 50 or more points in 10 of his 14 seasons in the league.

Voters may select up to three of the five nominees on the ballot. To win induction into the Hall of Fame, nominees must be selected on a minimum of 75 percent of the ballots cast.

The nominees were selected by the league’s Hall of Fame Committee. Once nominated as finalists, candidates remain on the ballot for a second year if they do not receive enough votes for induction in their first year. Nominees come off the ballot if they do not receive enough votes in the second year, but can be re-nominated by the Hall of Fame Committee in the future to return.

The NLL Hall of Fame was established in 2006.

Black Wolves assistant coach Jim Veltman is a member of the Hall of Fame's Class of 2009.
