The
Golden Jet
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. Bringing the pictures to life is an exclusive commemorative
DVD, which includes highlights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes clips
from the Blackhawks video library.
A must-have keepsake for Blackhawks fans of all ages, The Golden Jet
is a rare opportunity to celebrate the life of the greatest hockey player
in Chicago s history. There is only one Bobby Hull. |
