The Greatest Hockey Players of All Time: Then vs. Now

Brett Hull, son of legend Bobby Hull, entered the NHL in 1986 and quickly built a reputation as one of the most lethal scorers in league history. With his blistering shot and scoring instincts, he became the face of the St. Louis Blues and later a Stanley Cup champion.

He was remembered for his 741 career goals, including a 50-in-50 season and his infamous 1999 Stanley Cup–winning goal with the Dallas Stars. Hull’s knack for finding the net, combined with his fiery personality, made him one of hockey’s most exciting and sometimes controversial superstars.
