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 Doug Bentley. Next up:

Today we’re profiling former Blackhawks defenseman Keith Brown. Drafted seventh overall by the Blackhawks in 1979, Brown spent 14 of his 16 NHL seasons in Chicago and helped lead the team to the 1992 Stanley Cup Final, though he missed the series due to injury. The Blackhawks were swept by Pittsburgh and surely could’ve used him.
