Former Chicago Blackhawks players and Hockey Hall of Fame members Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita have rejoined the Chicago Blackhawks family and have been named as official Blackhawks ambassadors. Hull and Mikita will represent the Blackhawks at events at the United Center and throughout the Chicagoland area.
“I am overwhelmed to be a part of the Chicago Blackhawks family again,” said Hull. “I’ve been away from Chicago for some 35 years but Chicago was never out of my heart. The Chicago Blackhawks logo has always meant a lot to me as I know it does to the Chicago fans. I want to be a part of welcoming and encouraging fans to come out and watch this exciting young team. It is truly time for me to come back to Chicago and I am happy to be back.”

I think this is a hell of a move for the Blackhawks to make. The Wirtz era almost completely destroyed the rabid fanbase that they used to have, and bringing Hull and Mikita back to reach out the community is good place to bring.
They were great Hawks and two of the greatest players ever, and the fans in that city must surely love them still.
