As we, at WGN Radio, prepare to welcome the Chicago Blackhawks into the “Century Club,” we are celebrating Chicago’s Original 6 hockey organization by highlighting over 100 players, coaches, executives, broadcasters and personalities that have been a part of Blackhawks’ 100-year history. Every weekday leading up to and through the 2025-26 season, you will hear about a different all-time Blackhawks figure in both the morning and afternoon WGN Radio sports reports, and here on WGNRadio.com. Several eras of Chicago hockey will be represented in our profiles, voiced by Dave Eanet, Andy Masur, Charlie Roumeliotis, Kevin Powell and Jack Heinrich.

We previously covered Dennis Hull. Next up:

Connor Murphy

by Jack Heinrich

Connor Murphy has been a steady presence on the Blackhawks Blue Line over the last 8 seasons. Acquired in a trade from the then-Arizona Coyotes in 2017, Murphy has skated in 487 games in a Blackhawks sweater and has provided great leadership on and off the ice. Recently helping a lot of the Blackhawks defensive prospects with their transition to the NHL, he has donned the “A” on sweater as an alternate captain for the Blackhawks the past 5 seasons.
