Just stumbbled onto this web site. Quite interesting/funny. They even have a song about Bobby Hull during his Winnipeg days! Anyone remeber this tune? Fun Stuff!

When it comes to the Winnipeg Jets, there may never be a greater player in city history than "The Golden Jet" Bobby Hull.
If you have never heard the old Billy Van song "The Golden Jet" you absolutely must. Here's the link. I've posted the lyrics below, but it simply must be heard to truly enjoy.
A jet propelled star
A scoring sensation
A powerhouse winger
The craze of the nation
A prolific scorer
A skater supreme
A classy stickhanlder
A coach's dream
A goal a game is a fantastic clip
And add his power and pulsating zip
And his stamina, speed, style and skill
Performance perfection and brilliance at will
His quality, dignity and class
Set ups refused, because he'd rather pass
And his games of hat tricks, three or four
Even give goals could be in store
A Morenz and Conacher, a Howe and Richard
All wrapped up in one in this mighty die hard
If we examined Bobby we'd surely find
The greatest athlete of all time
The Blonde Bomber
The Golden Jet
A Superstar
Improving Yet
Pucks in the net are his maximum goal
50 for silver, 51 for gold
To add to his goals would add to his glory
60 or more an unparalleled story
Bobby Hull, Bobby Hull, The Golden Jet!
