Description
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 Brian Campbell. Next up:

Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1975 and named as one of the NHL’s greatest players in 2017, “Mr. Goalie” Glenn Hall, was one of the best ever between the pipes and played for the Blackhawks between 1957 and 1967. Hall was one of the first goaltenders to use the butterfly style of goalkeeping. And he never used a goaltending mask or headgear until late in his career. Hall’s #1 jersey is retired by the Blackhawks.
