Details

Bobby Hull’s record of 50 goals in a single NHL season was first accomplished in 1961-62 with the Chicago Blackhawks. Two players had been there before, Maurice Richard with the Montreal Canadiens in 1944-45 and Bernie Geoffrion, also of the Canadiens, in 1960-61.

In that 1961-62 NHL season, the Golden Jet scored the magic number 50 in the final game of the campaign. On March 25, 1962 at Madison Square Garden, Hull’s was the only Chicago goal in a 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers. He put one past Gump Worsley 4:58 into the game, assisted by Reg Fleming. Bobby put a total of seven shots on Worsley in the game but couldn’t beat the legendary goalie to reach 51.

The record would progress in 1965-66 when Hull scored 54 goals, then again in 1968-69 when he netted 58. That record did not remain in Bobby’s hands long. Phil Esposito put in 76 goals in 1970-71. The current record stands at 92, set by Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers in 1981-82.

He did lead the NHL in scoring in 1959-60 and 1961-62, earning the Art Ross Trophy. Hull would add one more to the trophy cabinet when he led the NHL in 1965-66 with 97 points.

Dennis Hull also went on to a decent NHL career. Bobby’s “kid brother” played 959 regular season and 104 playoff games in the National Hockey League between 1964-65 and 1977-78. His career was mostly spent with the Blackhawks but he played his final season with the Detroit Red Wings.
