Acquired in a trade in 1988, Dirk Graham had a career year in his first full season in Chicago with 78 points and 33 goals. The forward played for the Hawks through 1995, serving as team captain. He won the Selke Trophy in 1991 for best defensive forward. After his playing days, Graham served as an assistant with the Hawk, and eventually as head coach for 59 games during the 1998-99 season.

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.

Hall of Famer, Doug Bentley spent 12 seasons with the Blackhawks in the 1940’s and 50’s. Bentley became the first Hawks player to win the scoring title, with 73 points in the 1942-43 season. He and his brother, Max, played together with the Hawks starting in 1941. In fact, with World War II decimating rosters, Bentley convinced the Hawks to sign his younger brothe,r Reg. The trio made history on January 1, 1943, when they became the first all-brother line the NHL had seen. 2 days later, Doug and Max assisted on Reg’s fist and only NHL goal.

On a team full of stars, Patrick Kane was among the brightest. The first player taken in the 2007 Draft, he burst onto the scene with a team-leading 72 points, and won the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year. A year later, he helped lead the Blackhawks back to the playoffs for the first time in seven years. Kane would play 16 seasons for the Blackhawks, scoring 446 goals, third in team history behind only Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, and his overtime goal in Game 6 in 2010 gave the Blackhawks their first Stanley Cup since 1961.

Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia: The Blackhawks were up 3-2 in the series, and Game 6 went to overtime. About 4 minutes in, Patrick Kane skated down the left side with the puck and fired from an impossible angle. Unseen by most of the 20,000 in the building, and most watching on TV, Kane had scored. The only visible clue?  Kane and the Hawks tossing off their gloves in celebration.  The precise location of that puck still isn’t known, 15 years later.
