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 Bill Wirtz. Next up:

Today we’re profiling John Scott, one of the most popular enforcers of his era. He played for seven teams across eight NHL seasons, including two with the Blackhawks. Known for his toughness, Scott racked up 544 penalty minutes, most of them in fights. He’s best remembered for winning the fan vote to captain the 2016 NHL All-Star Game, where he was named MVP.
