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.

We previously covered Eric Nesterenko. Next up:

When Al secord joined the Blackhawks in a trade with Boston in 1980, he would become part of one of the most explosive lines in Hawks history.  Secord teamed with Denis Savard and Steve Larmer to form the Party Line, and he had his best 2 seasons with them – In 1982, he recorded 44 goals and 300 penalty minutes. A year later, he scored 54 goals. Secord was eventually traded to Toronto, along with Eddie Olyczyk, but returned for a final season with the Hawks in 1990, and enjoyed a second career as a pilot for American Airlines.
