“The NHL Alumni Association is deeply saddened to learn that Bobby Hull has passed away at the age of 84,” the organization tweeted. “Bobby began his NHL career with the @NHLBlackhawks in 1957. He would go on to play 15 seasons with the team, one season with Winnipeg, and another with Hartford, amounting to 1,063 regular-season games.

“Hull was a driven player who always gave fans a memorable experience at every game and brought them to their feet. In his retirement, ‘The Golden Jet’ was never in a rush to sign every autograph as an ambassador for the Blackhawks, one of his favorite accomplishments.

“Bobby was a 3x Art Ross Trophy winner, Lester Patrick Trophy winner, 2x Hart Memorial Trophy winner, Lady Byng Memorial Trophy winner, Stanley Cup Champion, Hockey Hall of Famer, and one of the @NHL’s 100 Greatest Players.

“We send our deepest condolences to Bobby’s family, friends, former teammates, and Blackhawks organization during this very difficult time.”

FOX 32 Chicago reported Hull’s death, citing sources. A sports marketing group which Hull had worked with in the past for autograph sessions also reported his death in a Facebook post.

“It was with great sadness that we report our long time friend Bobby Hull has passed away, just a few weeks after his 84th birthday,” AM Sports Marketing Group wrote. “We were lucky enough to share many times with Bobby over the years, many stories, a few cigars, and many bottles of dirty red.

“We have met many legends in sports over the years. There was one great storyteller and man who enjoyed being with his fans until his last days. A man who would share a story or three [with] anyone who would ask about hockey and his amazing life story of coming from nothing to be one of the top hockey players of all time. 

“We will never forgot Robert Marvin Hull. He was The Legend.”
