Dennis Hull, a legendary left wing for the Chicago Blackhawks, died at age 81, the team announced Saturday. The forward spent 13 seasons with the Hawks from 1964-77.<\/p>\n

Hawks Chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz said the team was \u201cdeeply saddened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKnown around the league for his immense skill, toughness and intelligence, Dennis was as dominant on the ice as he was beloved off it,\u201d Wirtz said in a statement. \u201cHe often drew on his sharp wit and sense of humor to keep the locker room loose, while his warmth and humility made everyone he met feel welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Point Anne, Ontario, native, Hull was undrafted upon his arrival to the Hawks in 1964 but scored 640 points (298 goals, 342 assists) and earned five all-star nods during his time in Chicago. His best effort came during the 1972-73 season, when he scored 90 points (39 goals, 51 assists) en route to the Stanley Cup finals.<\/p>\n

The forward played his final season with the Detroit Red Wings in 1977-78, putting his career point total at 654.<\/p>\n

He was given the moniker \u201cThe Silver Jet,\u201d a play on the nickname of his older brother, Hawks legend and Hockey Hall of Famer \u201cThe Golden Jet\u201d Bobby Hull<\/a>. The siblings played alongside each other with the Hawks until Bobby\u2019s departure to the Winnipeg Jets in 1972.<\/p>\n

Dennis Hull played in three Stanley Cup finals (1964, 1970, 1972) with the Hawks, scoring 11 points across the championship series without winning the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dennis Hull, a legendary left wing for the Chicago Blackhawks, died at age 81, the team announced Saturday.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":833552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5124],"tags":[182933,960,291,4446,341815,5386,1818,16068,9455,341816],"class_list":["post-833551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago","tag-bobby-hull","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-blackhawks","tag-death","tag-dennis-hull","tag-il","tag-illinois","tag-nhl-hockey","tag-obituary","tag-stanley-cup-finals"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=833551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/833552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
