Bobby Hull no longer Chicago Blackhawks' team ambassador

CHICAGO -- Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull is no longer serving as a team ambassador for the Blackhawks.

Hull played for Chicago for 15 years, collecting 604 goals and 549 assists. He was named a Blackhawks ambassador in a ceremony with fellow Hall of Famer Stan Mikita in 2008.

The Blackhawks said Monday they are redefining the role of team ambassador after Mikita died in 2018 and Tony Esposito died in August.

"When it comes to Bobby, specifically, we jointly agreed earlier this season that he will retire from any official team role," the team said in a statement.
