(AP) -- DETROIT — Jim Devellano says going into the Hockey Hall of Fame will be a nice culmination of a long career.
The Detroit Red Wings senior vice president will be inducted Monday night in Toronto along with Dino Ciccarelli, Cammi Granato, Angela James and the late Daryl "Doc" Seaman.
Devellano will be honored in the builder category.
Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch hired Devellano to be the team's general manager in 1982. The man known as Jimmy D helped transform a struggling franchise into one good enough to win four Stanley Cups during an active streak of 19 straight postseason appearances.
Devellano's NHL career began in 1967 in St. Louis and continued in New York. He earned three of his seven Stanley Cup rings with the Islanders as their assistant GM.
