Since the NHL began its centennial anniversary this year they have been naming players to the top 100 of all time. At the Centennial Classic they released the first 33 players with the final 67 being revealed All-Star weekend.
Of the first 33, the Chicago Blackhawks had two players named to the list. Mr. Goalie Glenn Hall and Max Bentley.
Where the Blackhawks really made their mark was in the final 67 when they had six more players named to the list. Tony Esposito, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Denis Savard, Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
They joined players like Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky and Maurice “Rocket” Richard as all-time greats. There were also many other players who wore the Blackhawks crest like Chris Chelios and Bobby Orr but made their mark with other teams.
This monumental event brought most of these players together in the same room for the first time ever. Everyone of these players have made a major impact on the game of hockey and fans alike.
