by Bobby Hull
Hardcover from Triumph Books
ISBN: 1600784054
In a city known as home to some of the sporting world s biggest stars, few have ever shined as brightly as the Chicago Blackhawks Bobby Hull. Born in Point Anne, Ontario, the Golden Jet burst onto the NHL scene as an 18-year-old rookie in 1957 and never looked back. One of the most charismatic and electrifying athletes of his or any era, Hull thrilled fans with his unique combination of speed, skill, and grace. During his 15 years in the Windy City, Hull amassed a team-record 604 career goals, collected three Art Ross trophies as the league s leading scorer, and earned hockey s ultimate prize in 1961: Lord Stanley s Cup and a championship ring.
But Hull s on-the-ice exploits only tell part of his amazing story. One of the greatest ambassadors of the sport then and to this day, the man generally regarded as the finest left wing in history has been a tireless promoter of the game and has fostered a deep and personal connection with his fans like few other players. Only a handful of former athletes can merit a standing ovation from a crowd of 22,000 fans merely by showing their faces; Bobby Hull is one of those men.
In The Golden Jet, Hull traces his life and career from his days as a youngster learning to skate on the Bay of Quinte to his current role as a Blackhawks ambassador. Featuring hundreds of rare, full-color photos from his personal archive and accompanying text from legendary Chicago sports columnist and Blackhawks team historian Bob Verdi, The Golden Jet gives Hull s millions of fans a never-before-seen glimpse into the life of this hockey icon.
