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 Connor Murphy. Next up:

Dustin Byfuglien

by Dave Eanet

His name wasn’t the easiest to spell, but his on-ice persona was hard to miss. Dustin Byfuglien, “Big Buff”, brought a physical presence to the 2010 Stanley cup champs as well as a scoring touch, shifting from defense to forward. His 11 goals in the playoffs tied Patrick Sharp for the team lead, and he scored the first goal in the Blackhawks’ Cup-clinching win over the Flyers. It would be his last goal for the Hawks, who traded him to Atlanta two weeks later.
