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 Marcus Kruger. Next up:

He grew up near Chicago in Lemont and quickly became a fan favorite, but it was a long road to his hometown team for goalie Scott Darling. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL Draft and after multiple stops around the minors, Darling signed with the Blackhawks in July of 2014, eventually earning a contract extension in July of 2014 and a Stanley Cup championship in 2015.
