Bobby Hull’s career

Hull performed admirably in its first season, placing second in the Calder Memorial Trophy. Hull started off as a Black Hawk wearing numbers 16 and 7, but eventually switched to his renowned number 9 as a nod to his idol Gordie Howe. He won the Art Ross Trophy for leading the league in goals and points by the end of his third season (1959–60), a feat he repeated in 1961–62 and 1965–66. In 1961, he led Chicago to its third overall and first Stanley Cup victory in 23 years. Three more times, he came in second in terms of points scored.

The Golden Jet surpassed his own record of 50 goals as well as those of Maurice Richard and Bernie Geoffrion on March 12, 1966, to become the first NHL player to score more than 50 goals in a season. Following his 51st goal against the New York Rangers’ Cesare Maniago, the Chicago Stadium faithful gave him a seven-minute standing ovation. Hull finally finished the season with 54 goals, the most in a single season during the Original Six period. Hull set the record for the most points in a season that same year with 97, one more than Dickie Moore’s previous mark from seven years prior.

Bobby Hull’s family

Hull’s ancestors came from Slovakia to Canada.

Dennis, Hull’s younger brother, played with him for eight seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks, contributing almost 300 goals of his own. Who had the hardest shot, according to some pundits, was the older brother. Dennis had originally intended to skip the competition and show support for his brother Bobby when Bobby was denied entry to the 1972 Summit Series because he played in the WHA, but Bobby persuaded him to remain on Team Canada.
