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 Pat Boyle. Next up:

Drafted in 1984, Trent Yawney suited up for the Blackhawks from 1987 to 1991. That included 41 playoff games for the defenseman. After his playing days, Yawney joined the Hawks as an assistant and later as head coach during a rebuild from 2005 into 2007. Yawney has had coaching stops in San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles, while currently serving on Detroit’s coaching staff.
