Rangers protested saying Hartman and Olczyk had missed time due to injuries, and should be on the Stanley Cup. The NHL agreed and later added their names.

On April 29, 2012 Hartman was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in a ceremony in Commack, N.Y.{{cite web |url=http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/26/womens-soccer-pioneer-to-be-honored-by-jewish-hall-of-fame/ |title=...to Be Honored by Jewish Hall of Fame |work=New York Times |date=26 April 2012 |accessdate=April 26, 2012}}
Biography
Hartman was born in Detroit, Michigan, and is Jewish.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dAq4TGQsWwwC&dq=mike+hartman+jewish+hockey&pg=PA38|title=Day by Day in Jewish Sports History|first=Bob|last=Wechsler|date=August 3, 2008|publisher=KTAV Publishing House, Inc.|isbn=9780881259698 |via=Google Books}} As a youth, he played in the 1980 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Detroit.{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-01-16}} He graduated from West Bloomfield High School.{{cite web | url=https://thejewishnews.com/2021/01/28/looking-back-jews-hockey/ | title=Looking Back: Jews & Hockey — Detroit Jewish News | date=28 January 2021 }}
He began his career in 1983–84 playing for the North York Rangers in the OJHL, then in 1984–85 and 1985–86 for the Belleville Bulls in the OHL and also in 1985–86 for the North Bay Centennials of the OHL.
Hartman split the following season between Buffalo and their AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans, before becoming a full-time NHL'er in 1988–89. That season, Hartman racked up a career-high 316 penalty minutes and added 8 goals. The 1989–90 season proved to be Hartman's best statistically, as he scored a career-high 11 goals and 10 assists and led the Sabres in penalty minutes for the second straight year with 211.
At the beginning of the 1991–92 season, after three full seasons with the Sabres, Hartman was part of a five player swap with the Winnipeg Jets. The Sabres traded Hartman, forward Darrin Shannon and defenceman Dean Kennedy to the Jets in exchange for forward Dave McLlwain, defenceman Gord Donnelly and the Jets' fifth round pick in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft (Yuri Khmylev). Hartman accounted for eight points and 264 penalty minutes in his only year with the Jets, who left him unprotected in the expansion draft that followed the season.
Hartman was leading the Lightning with 154 penalty minutes. At the trade deadline that season, Hartman was traded to the New York Rangers for forward Randy Gilhen. He played 3 games at the season of the Rangers. Injuries would limit the number of games Mike played in the next two season. He only played 35 games as in 1993-94, and 1 game for Rangers in 1994-95. He scored 1 goal, 1 assist and amassing 80 penalty minutes for the Rangers. For his NHL career, Hartman scored 43 goals, added 35 assists and had 1388 penalty minutes in 397 regular season contests.
In 1995, Hartman moved to the IHL's Orlando Solar Bears, where he scored 24 points in 77 games. Hartman played four of his last five professional seasons with the Charlotte Checkers of the ECHL, retiring after the 2003–04 season. The exception was the 1998–99 season, which he spent with Kölner Haie of Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga. That season, Hartman also played three games for USA Hockey's qualifying squad which won a berth in the World Championships.
He competed on Team USA in hockey at the 1997 Maccabiah Games in Israel, which won a silver medal.{{Cite web|url=https://newspapers.library.in.gov/?a=d&d=JPOST19970108-01.1.20&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------|title= January 1997|website=Jewish Post }}{{Cite web|url=https://jhsnj-archives.org/?a=d&d=A19970731-NewJerseyJewishNews-19970731.1.12&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN%7CtxTA%7CtxCO%7CtxTY%7CtxTI%7CtxRG%7CtxSG%7CtxSE%7CtxSB%7CtxCT%7CtxIE%7CtxIT%7CtxTE%7CtxLA%7CtxSU%7CtxSP%7CtxDS%7CtxAD%7CtxPR%7CtxTR%7CtxFI-----------|title= July 31, 1997 — Jewish Historical Society of New Jersey Archives|website=New Jersey Jewish News}}
