Bobby Hull, the NHL Hall of Famer who was the first to score 50 goals in a single season and is considered perhaps the greatest player in Chicago Blackhawks history, died Monday.
the NHL Alumni Association said. He was 84. The Original Six team for which he played 15 seasons 1957-72 cited his “historic impact” on the club, tweeting, “The Golden Jet helped the Blackhawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup and delivered countless memories for our fans, whom he adored.
Generations of Chicagoans were dazzled by Bobby’s shooting prowess, skating skill and overall team leadership.” Left winger Hull joined the Blackhawks in the 1957-58 season and scored 30-plus goals twice before his historic 50-goal season in 1961-62, the year after he won the Cup with the club.
He would break his own NHL record for goals in a season with 54 in 1965-66 and got 52 the following year and a NHL-career-best 58 in 1968-69.
