Hull, Robert Marvin, Jr. ("Bobby")

(b. 3 January 1939 in Point Anne, Ontario, Canada), hockey player whose offensive prowess, matinee-idol looks, and electrifying play greatly increased the game's popularity during the period of the National Hockey League's greatest expansion (1967–1981).

Hull's father, Robert M. Hull, Sr., dreamed of playing professional hockey. Instead, he started a family at a young age and needed a steady income. While he and his wife raised eleven children, he worked at a cement plant in Point Anne, a town in southeastern Ontario. He bought his oldest son, Robert Jr., a pair of ice skates for Christmas when the boy was three years old, and by the end of that day, the child was skating unaided. By age five, he was getting up daily at 5:00 A. M. to skate on Lake Ontario's Bay of Quinte near his home. He played hockey constantly, often with his sisters and brothers.

By the time he was twelve, Hull was playing with his father in an amateur league. That same year (1951), Bob Wilson, chief scout for the Chicago Blackhawks, saw Hull play in a bantam

Bobby Hull

Canadian ice hockey player (1939–2023)

Ice hockey player

Robert Marvin HullOC (January 3, 1939 – January 30, 2023) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. His blond hair, skating speed, end-to-end rushes, and ability to shoot the puck at very high velocity all earned him the nickname "the Golden Jet". His talents were such that an opposing player was often assigned just to shadow him.

During his 23-year playing career, from 1957 to 1980, he played in both the National Hockey League (NHL) and World Hockey Association (WHA) with the Chicago Black Hawks, Winnipeg Jets, and Hartford Whalers. He won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player twice and the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading point scorer three times, while helping the Black Hawks win the Stanley Cup in 1961. He also led the WHA's Winnipeg Jets to Avco Cup championships in 1976 and 1978. He led the NHL in goals seven times, the second most of any player in history, and led the WHA in goals one additional time w

Bobby Hull: bending his own!

The top personalities in hockey have a defining characteristic. No one was more impressive than Maurice Richard, no defender could handle the puck like Bobby Orr, no one could foresee a game like Wayne Gretzky. And no one could throw the puck like Bobby Hull.

Mr. Hull – that’s power

Robert Marvin Hull was born on January 3, 1939 in Point Ann, Ontario. He died on January 30 at the age of 84, leaving behind one of the greatest legacies on the ice. He brought complete, despicable fear to professional hockey in a 23-year career that spanned 16 seasons in the National Hockey League and all seven campaigns of its rival, the World Hockey Association (1972-79).

Bobby Danger

Until the arrival of Mr. Hull in 1957, there was no place for fear in the game. Once upon a time, his mighty physique generated maximum speed and power, but his slashing shot was so powerful that the audience feared for the goalkeepers who had to face him, not to mention anyone else who could be in the line of fire.
