This Day in Blackhawks History -- The Golden Jet

On this date in 1966 Bobby Hull scored 4 goals (his 17th career hat trick) in a 6-5 loss to NY Rangers, becoming the first player in team history to score 300 goals.  The Golden Jet would finish his  Blackhawks career with 604 tallys .  Teammate Stan Mikita is second with 541.  Current superstar, Patrick Kane, counting last night's lamplighter, is 4th with 390.

Parkurst Retro Chicago Blackhawks

It's hard to believe but for the quarter century prior to 1967 the NHL consisted of only six teams, the Canadiens, Maple Leafs, Rangers, Bruins, Red Wings and Blackhawks.

In the mid-nineties, Parkhurst commemorated the 1964-65 NHL season by producing a set of "Tall Boy" cards featuring players and coaches from the "Original Six" teams. I'll be sharing my favorites in coming posts.

Here are my favorites from the Chicago Blackhawks:
