Brett Hull was born on August 9, 1964
in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. He
played his collegiate hockey with
University of Minnesota-Duluth of the
WCHA and was drafted by the Calgary
Flames in the sixth round, 117th
overall in 1984. Following in his
great father, Bobby Hull's footsteps,
he got his first taste of NHL action
in the 1987 playoffs with the Flames.
The following season saw Hull play a
handfull of games with the big club
as he tore up the AHL with the Moncton
Golden Flames. With Calgary on the
cusp of taking that next step, Brett
Hull and Steve Buzek were traded to
the St. Louis Blues for Rob Ramage and
Rick Wamsley in the spring of 1988. His
first full season with the Blues was a
mere glimpse of what was in store as
Hull scored 41 goals and 43 assits
for 84pts.
The following season he was teamed up
with Adam Oates as his center and
Brett Hull was the top goal scorer in
the NHL with 72 goals and was named a
first team All-Star. He would go on to
score 86 goals in 1990-91 winning the
Hart Trophy and followed that up with
his third straight 70+ goal season.
Even as his goal production began to
drop, Hull would add two more 50 goal
seasons and two 40+ goal seasons in St.
Louis before signing with the Dallas
Stars as an unrestricted free agent in
1998. Hull would finally reach his goal
of winning a Stanley Cup as he scored
the championship winning goal in 1999.
He signed with the Detroit Red Wings in
2001 and once again was part of the 2002
Stanley Cup champs in Detroit. Brett
Hull has been one of the most prolific
scorers in NHL history. His "one timer"
is still feared by goalies around the
league and he would be a shoe-in for
the Hall of Fame when he retires. Brett
Hull signed as a free agent with the
Phoenix Coyotes in 2004 and suddenly
retired just 5 games into the '06 season
