<h2>BEST BLACKHAWKS</h2>
Chicago has been blessed with some great players over the years. The franchise is represented by 39 former players in the Hockey Hall of Fame. One of those is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, Stan Mikita. Considered the greatest center of the 1960s, Mikita scored 541 goals and 1,467 points. He is the only player in NHL history to win the Hart, Art Ross, and Lady Byng Trophies in the same season and he did it twice (1966-67 and 1967-68).

Bobby Hull played 15 seasons in Chicago and was a teammate of Mikita. Hull has the franchise record for goals with 604 and is second on the scoring list with 1,153. Hull won the Art Ross Trophy (scoring champion) three times (1960, 1962, 1966), the Hart Memorial Trophy (regular season MVP) twice (1965 and 1966), and the Lady Byng Trophy (sportsmanship) once (1965). Statues of both Hull and Mikita were erected outside of the United Center where the Blackhawks currently play.
