BOBBY Hull gained notoriety through his participation in the National Hockey League.
Fans are curious about the Canadian ice hockey player who passed away on January 30, 2023, at the age of 84.
Who was Bobby Hull?
Former professional ice hockey player Robert “Bobby” Hull was renowned for his blonde hair, end-to-end rushes, and tremendous shooting velocity.
Hull, often known as The Golden Jet, started his NHL career in 1957 while playing for the Chicago Blackhawks. He later played for the Hartford Whalers and Winnipeg Jets.
Hull was one of the 100 greatest players in NHL history and was a three-time Art Ross Trophy winner as well as a two-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner.
Additionally, the Hall of Famer assisted in the 1961 Stanley Cup victory of the Chicago Blackhawks.
According to NBC Sports, he finished his career with 610 goals, 560 assists, and 1,170 points in 1,063 games.
What was Bobby Hull’s cause of death?
The NHL Alumni Association initially acknowledged Hull’s passing on January 30, 2023.
Although established, the precise cause was kept private.
“The NHL Alumni Association is deeply saddened to learn that Bobby Hull has passed away at the age of 84,” the association said in a statement.
“…We send our deepest condolences to Bobby’s family, friends, former teammates, and Blackhawks organization during this very difficult time.”
Hull served as a Blackhawks ambassador after his retirement and spent time with his family.
He wed twice during the course of his life.
He was married to Joanne McKay for the first time from 1960 to 1980. The ex-couple had five children during that time: daughter Michelle, sons Bobby Jr., Blake, Brett, and Bart.
Then, four years following his divorce, he wed Deborah Hull.
Between 1986 and 2005, Brett played with the Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, and Phoenix Coyotes, enjoying a successful NHL career, much like his father.
He is now the Blues organization’s executive vice president.
Bobby Jr. played hockey as well, but he was never drafted into the NHL.
When it came to athletics, Bart made the decision to take a different path by playing football in the Canadian Football League.
The specifics of Blake and Michelle’s lives are unknown at this time.
