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 Kenny Wharram. Next up:

Bob Murray played in 1,008 games for the Hawks, which ranks 8th in franchise history. Murray was a two-time Campbell Conference All-Star, in 1981 and 1983. He retired from playing in May of 1990 after a 15-year career. The Blackhawks then hired Murray as their director of player personnel in 1991, and he became the sixth general manager in Blackhawks’ history on July 3, 1997. He served as GM until 1999.
