Dennis William Hull was born on November 19, 1944 (age 78 years) in Point Anne, Belleville, Canada. Dennis Hull was in the shadow of his older brother Bobby Hull, where they were both teammates on the Chicago Black Hawks for eight seasons. He emerged as a star player on his own, scoring over 300 goals in his own right, and earning the nickname “the Silver Jet” (Bobby was known as “the Golden Jet”).
When Bobby was excluded from the 1972 Summit Series because he played in the WHA, Dennis initially planned to boycott the event as well as a show of support for his brother, but Bobby persuaded him to stay on Team Canada. During the series, Hull took over for Vic Hadfield at the left wing position on the New York Rangers “Goal A Game” line with Jean Ratelle and Rod Gilbert, managing two goals and two assists in four games.
