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 Murray Bannerman. Next up:

Today we’re profiling Dave Bolland, better known as “The Rat,” a dependable two-way center who often shut down the opposition’s top lines. Most notably, he scored the game-winning goal in Game 6 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Final against Boston in the iconic “17 Seconds” comeback.
