The Former NHL Players Association wrote about the death of Canadian hockey player and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame member Robert Marvin Hull on their Twitter account.

As a child, Bobby dreamed of becoming a hockey player. And already at 18, the boy played for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL. During this period the team won the Stanley Cup, and Hull's play was highly regarded. He became the first player to score 50 goals in a single season. His highest peak was in the 1968-1969 season with 58 pucks.
