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 Nick Foligno. Next up:

Denis Savard

by Dave Eanet

He was known as “Savoir Faire”, or simply Savvy. Denis Savard remains one of the Blackhawks’ greatest and most popular players. His famed Spin-o-rama helped him score 377 goals as a member of the Hawks. He was traded to Montreal for fellow Hall of Famer Chris Chelios in 1990, and won a Stanley Cup there in 1993. He would end his career with the Hawks and coached them for parts of 3 seasons. His number 18 was retired by the Hawks in 1998.
