Card Notes

Blond Adonis with muscles on muscles, Bobby was NHL scoring champ two seasons ago at age 20. He started out as center, switched over to left wing and discovered scoring touch. Combines great speed and power, owns one of hardest shots in league. Broke in with Hawks at 18, now 22.

Un magnifique spéciment d’athlète. Bobby a été le champion compteur de la Nationale il y a deux ans alors qu’il n’avait que 20 ans. A débuté comme centre et joue maintenant à l’aile gauche. Un patineur rapide et très puissant il possède un lancer dynamique.

Details

In 1959-60, Bobby Hull and Bronco Horvath of the Boston Bruins tied for the NHL goal scoring lead with 39 goals each. Going into the final game of the season, Horvath held a one goal lead over Hull with the Bruins and Blackhawks facing off at the Boston Garden. Bronco was held off the scoresheet while Bobby scored his 39th early in the second period.

Also, going into that final game of the 1959-60 NHL season, Horvath had the edge for the Art Ross Trophy with 80 points to Hull’s 79. However, Bobby also added an assist on a third period goal by Eric Nesterenko to capture the overall scoring title.

For Hull, it was his first of three Art Ross Trophy wins, also taking home the prize in 1961-62 and 1965-66. 1961-62 was the first year he joined the 50 goal club with exactly 50. That exclusive club previously only included Maurice Richard and Bernie Geoffrion.

Between 1957-58 and 1979-80, Bobby Hull played in 1,063 regular season and 119 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Blackhawks, Winnipeg Jets and Hartford Whalers. He also played 411 regular season and 60 playoff games in the WHA between 1972-73 and 1978-79, all with the Winnipeg Jets. Hull was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983.
