Bobby Hull

Winter Sports

Bobby Hull was a Canadian winger nicknamed the Golden Jet, famous for his blond hair, his skating speed, his end-to-end rushes and one of the hardest shots of his era. His 23-year career ran from 1957 to 1980 in the NHL and the World Hockey Association, with the Chicago Black Hawks, the Winnipeg Jets and the Hartford Whalers. He won the Hart Trophy twice, the Art Ross Trophy three times and the Stanley Cup in 1961, led the NHL in goals seven times, and led the WHA Jets to two Avco Cup titles. He entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in 2017.
