Bobby played most of his career for the Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets, and in 14 seasons with the Blackhawks, between 19, Hull played against Howe and the Detroit Red Wings. They are none-other than legendary NHL brother act, Bobby and Dennis Hull.īobby Hull, a member of the 1983 Hockey Hall of Fame Inductees, wore the number 9 for most of his National Hockey League career as a tribute to his childhood idol, Gordie Howe. Hull presumably no longer will appear at Hawks promotional events and such, as he previously did at the annual Hawks Convention and Winter Classic games.Īs the Hawks begin the long process of repairing their image in the Chicago sports community, this small move represents an encouraging step in the right direction.The Vancouver Giants announced today the final two Special Guests who will be in attendance for Gordie Howe’s 85th Birthday Celebration game on Friday March 1. His statue still stands, alongside Mikita’s, outside the United Center on Madison Street, and that’s probably not going anywhere in the near future - although the old Hawks statue across the street that was vandalized by Native American mascot protestors in 2020 seemingly has been removed permanently. Hull had 1,153 points in 1,036 games for the Hawks between 19, then another 638 points in 411 WHA games before retiring in 1980. Hull, a two-time Hart Trophy winner as the NHL’s most valuable player, a three-time Art Ross Trophy winner as the NHL’s leading points-getter and a seven-time league leader in goals, spent the first two-thirds of his lengthy career with the Hawks before jumping to the World Hockey Association with the Jets.
