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 Frank Nazar. Next up:

His nickname alone is instantly recognizable, “The Golden Jet”.  Bobby Hull electrified Chicago Stadium during his 15 years with the Blackhawks.  He scored 604 goals, still the most in Hawks history, reaching the 50-goal mark 5 times. In 1972, Hull jumped to the upstart World Hockey Association’s Winnipeg Jets, becoming one of hockey’s first millionaires. In his later years, Hull mended fences with the Hawks, and returned as a Team Ambassador. He died in 2023.
