He was placed in the Stanley Cup after the team won that year despite the fact that Hall didn’t play in any game.

In 1955, Hall was finally able to earn a starting position and he picked up the Calder Memorial Trophy for his first full year in the league. He was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks towards the end of his second full season with Detroit. He helped Chicago win their 1961 Stanley Cup.
