“The Chicago Blackhawks are saddened by the passing of Blackhawks legend Bobby Hull, a superstar for our franchise between 1957 and 1972," the Blackhawks said in a statement. "Hull is part of an elite group of players who made a historic impact on our hockey club. The Golden Jet helped the Blackhawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup and delivered countless memories to our fans, whom he adored. Generations of Chicagoans were dazzled by Bobby’s shooting prowess, skating skill and overall team leadership that led to 604 career goals, a franchise record that remains to this day. We send our deepest sympathies to the Hull family.”
In total, Hull played 1,063 NHL games with the Blackhawks, Winnipeg Jets and Hartford Whalers, posting 610 goals and 1,170 points.
Hull was the first player in the NHL history to score more than 50 goals in a single season. He set the record of 54 in 1966 and broke it by four goals again in 1969.
He had a decorated World Hockey Association career with the Jets after leaving Chicago, posting 303 goals and 638 points over 411 games. He won the WHA championship twice in seven years with the Jets.
Hull was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and had his No. 9 sweater retired by the Blackhawks that same year.
