Hall of Famer Bobby Hull Retires from Role as Blackhawks Team Ambassador

The Chicago Blackhawks announced Monday that Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Hull has retired from his role as a team ambassador.

According to the Associated Press, the Blackhawks released a statement on Hull's retirement, saying: "When it comes to Bobby, specifically, we jointly agreed earlier this season that he will retire from any official team role."

Hull, Stan Mikita and Tony Esposito were named team ambassadors by the Blackhawks in 2008. Per the AP, the Blackhawks said they are now "redefining the role of team ambassador" following Mikita's death in 2018 and the passing of Esposito in August.
