Now here's some good hockey news:

With a certified check for $1 million in his hand and a ride in a vintage
Rolls Royce to seal the deal, Bobby Hull's smile was as blinding as the
checkered sport coat that hung on his famously massive upper body.
But no one could see into his soul that day 36 years ago when he bolted the
Blackhawks' for the World Hockey Association's Winnipeg Jets. And no one
could know that it wasn't just Blackhawks' fans whose hearts were broken.
"I never thought when I was playing in Chicago that I was going to be
anything but a Chicago Blackhawk," Hull said recently. "I never thought I
would wear any jersey but crimson. I thought I'd live and I'd die as a
Chicago Blackhawk and that's what I wanted to do, even up to the time I was
ready to retire when I was still with Winnipeg.
