Brett Hull, the St. Louis Blues’ all-time leading goal-scorer, was notified today that he will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in ceremonies Nov. 9 in Toronto. Hull, now 44, scored 741 goals in 20 years in the NHL, No. 3 on the all-time list behind Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801). He scored 527 goals in 11 seasons with the Blues.
Hull, nicknamed the “Golden Brett,” and his dad Bobby Hull, the “Golden Jet,” inducted in 1983, will become the first father-son combination in the Hall’s history.
Hull, who played with the Blues, Dallas, Detroit, Calgary and Phoenix, will not have to pick a team to represent in the Hall. He won Stanley Cups with Dallas and Detroit.
Steve Yzerman, Brian Leetch and Luc Robitaille were also chosen for induction.
