Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Hull Dies at Age 84

Former Chicago Blackhawks legend and Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Hull has passed away at the age of 84.

Hull, dubbed “The Golden Jet” for his blonde hair, elite speed, and skill, spent 15 seasons in Chicago, helping the team win the Stanley Cup in 1961. A prolific goal scorer, Hall became the first player in NHL history to score 50 goals in a season. His 604 career markers with the Blackhawks remain the franchise’s all-time record.

“Hull is part of an elite group of players who made a historic impact on our hockey club,” said the Blackhawks in a statement.
