He scored 654 points in 959 regular-season NHL games and added four points in four games for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series.
- Dennis Hull, the two-way forward who starred for the Chicago Blackhawks alongside his brother Bobby Hull, died Saturday at age 81. Nephew Bart Hull confirmed the death on social media.

- During the 1972 Summit Series, Hull helped Canada defeat the Soviet Union while skating on a line with New York Rangers stars Jean Ratelle and Rod Gilbert, contributing two goals and two assists in four games.
