Hull was a three\u002Dtime Art Ross Trophy winner, two\u002Dtime league MVP and a 1961 Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks.
But during a contract dispute with the Blackhawks, he became the first NHL all star to jump to the new World Hockey Association in 1972, remaining for all seven of its seasons before a brief return to the older league.
But with the Jets, Hull combined with the European talent the new league embraced. He had four seasons of 50 or more goals with the Jets, including 77 in 78 games in 1974-75. The Jets won three Avco Cup titles. Former Chicago Blackhawk Bobby Hull is introduced to the fans during the NHL hockey team’s convention Friday, July 15, 2016, in Chicago.
“All I’ve done all my life is just tried to better the game for our players and for those people watching,” Hull was quoted in a 2010 book on Hockey Hall Of Fame members, himself inducted in 1983.
