Dennis Hull

hockey cardDennis Hull

Retired player.

Autograph obtained in person on July 21, 2012.

Dennis Hull is Bobby Hull's younger brother and Brett Hull's uncle. He wrote an autobiography called The Third Best Hull. Despite his "third best" status, Dennis Hull still had one hell of a career--14 seasons in the NHL, one All-Star Team selection and 5 All-Star Game appearances. He scored 303 goals and 351 assists, plus 2 goals and 2 assists in the 1972 "Summit Series."

Hull appeared at the Blackhawks Convention this year, and signed my card in blue Sharpie marker--one nice thing about in-person autographs is that you can ask the player to use a color besides black.

Anyone who wants to read more about the Blackhawks Convention should check out my other blog.
