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 Bobby Hull. Next up:

Jeremy Roenick

by Andy Masur

As the Blackhawks #1 draft pick in 1988, Jeremy Roenick became a household name in Chicago. Roenick scored 50 goals in back-to-back seasons, with 53 in 1991, and 50 in 1992. His only three 100-point seasons came with the Hawks. After 8 seasons, he was dealt to the Phoenix Coyotes where he played the next 6 years. Roenick scored 267 of his 513 career goals in a Blackhawks sweater and he ranks 4th on the list of all-time American born scorers.
