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 Tony Esposito. Next up:

Today we’re profiling Andrew Ladd, who was acquired by the Blackhawks at the trade deadline twice, first in 2008, then again in 2016. He won his first Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006 and his second with Chicago in 2010, helping a young Blackhawks team snap a 49-year championship drought.
