Honoring Blackhawks Best 1 Of All Time: Highlights Interesting Facts & More
Glenn Hall (G, 1957-67)
After spending his first four years in Detroit, Hall played the next 10 in Chicago, where he ranks second among franchise goaltenders in games played (618), wins (276) and shutouts (51).
He won two of his three Vezina trophies with the Blackhawks and was first-team NHL All-Star five times. Hall was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975 and had his jersey retired by the Blackhawks in 1988.
Something also quite fantastic about Glenn Hall is that he played 502 games STRAIGHT! With 0 breaks or stoppages! Unfortunately it came to a end after suffering a injury and being forced to leave the game. He still holds the longest consecutive games played streak by a goaltender!
Let's take a look at some of Hall's highlights below!
