"Robert Marvin Hull", Order of Canada/OC (born January 3, 1939) is a Canadians/Canadian former ice hockey player and is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. His blonde hair, end to end rushes, his incredible speed on skates, and being able to shoot the puck at very high velocity, all earned him the nickname "The Golden Jet". His talents were such that often one or two opposing players were assigned just to shadow him—a tribute to his explosiveness.

Always keep your composure. You can't score from the penalty box; and to win, you have to score.

Somewhere in my wildest childhood I must have done something right. Being able to make a boyhood dream come true is one thing, but to have a kid come along and thrill his dad like Brett Hull has thrilled me over his career is too much for one guy to handle.

If I told you that the big contract had nothing to do with my signing, I'd be lying. It made the future secure for my family.

I thought it was a joke, I pretended to go along with it, just to scare Chicago. Then my agent said, 'Bobby, these guys are serious.'

My job is to suggest and ratify and use any expertise that I might have gained over the 23 years in professional hockey to make our game a better game.
