As we, at WGN Radio, prepare to welcome the Chicago Blackhawks into the “Century Club,” we are celebrating Chicago’s Original 6 hockey organization by highlighting over 100 players, coaches, executives, broadcasters and personalities that have been a part of Blackhawks’ 100-year history. Every weekday leading up to and through the 2025-26 season, you will hear about a different all-time Blackhawks figure in both the morning and afternoon WGN Radio sports reports, and here on WGNRadio.com. Several eras of Chicago hockey will be represented in our profiles, voiced by Dave Eanet, Andy Masur, Charlie Roumeliotis, Kevin Powell and Jack Heinrich.

Frank Nazar was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, selected by the Blackhawks. The Michigan product showed his offensive upside scoring his first career NHL goal in his first NHL game on April 14th, 2024. Nazar showed plenty of promise in a short time as a pro, highlighted by his performance this summer as the leading scorer on Team USA, helping them win their first World Championship gold medal in 92 years.  Nazar looks to be a key part of the future.
