BOBBY HULL--HALL OF FAMER, THE GOLDEN JET, IS NO MORE.

 We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bobby Hull, a Hall of Fame hockey legend. The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the news on Monday and requested privacy for the Hull family during this difficult time. The family has expressed their gratitude for all the kind words they have received. We offer our sincere condolences to the Hull family.



Bobby Hull was one of the most iconic hockey players of all time, having spent 15 glorious seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks. He holds numerous records with the team, including being the all-time leading goal scorer with 604 goals. His speed and blond hair earned him the nickname “Golden Jet”, and his accomplishments include two consecutive Hart Trophies as the league MVP and three NHL scoring championships. Hull was also known for his powerful slap shot - famously clocked at 118 mph.

Bobby Hull, a legendary hockey player, was signed by the Winnipeg Jets of the WHA in 1972 with a record-breaking $1 million contract. He was instrumental in leading the Jets to two Avco Cup titles and earned two Gordie Howe Trophies as the league's MVP. When the WHA merged with the NHL, Bobby played for the Hartford Whalers before retiring.


 In 1983, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and his number 9 was retired by the Blackhawks and the Jets. Bobby and his son Brett, who is also a Hall of Famer, are the only father-son combo to have both won the Hart Trophy. He will be deeply missed by his family, fans, and the hockey community.

Bobby Hull was famously known as the “Golden Jet” for his vibrant blond hair and speedy skating ability on the ice. He was beloved in Chicago for his instrumental role in bringing the Stanley Cup to the city alongside Stan Mikita in 1961, ending the 23-year-long championship drought.

During his career, Hull tallied 610 goals and 560 assists in 1,063 regular-season games. He was awarded multiple accolades, such as the two Hart Trophies, three Art Ross Trophies, and the 1965 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.

Despite his success in the NHL, Brett Hull faced personal difficulties, including accusations of domestic abuse from two of his spouses and a conviction for assaulting a police officer.

 In 1998, he made a number of inflammatory remarks about African Americans and Adolf Hitler, which sparked public criticism. As a result of the passing of other ambassadors, the Chicago Blackhawks recently chose to redefine the role of ambassador and ended Hull's involvement.
