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 Marian Hossa. Next up:

Two goals, 17 seconds. That was all it took for the Hawks to clinch their second Stanley Cup in four years. It was Bryan Bickell a massive presence on the ice, scoring the first goal of that sequence and his ninth of the 2013 playoffs. Bickell was known for his tough physical play. He was traded away in 2016. His career was cut short after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Bickell signed a ceremonial one-day contract with the Blackhawks to retire with the team in 2017.
