Imagine the thrill of being able to take your 7-year-old, hockey-playing son or daughter to the Hockey Hall of Fame here and having them sit less than 10 feet from one of the greatest players in the history of the game, Bobby Hull, and have him share with them recollections of his career and his advice and opinions on how to play the game.
Hull is in Toronto to share the Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Weekend with his son Brett, who will be inducted Monday along with Steve Yzerman, Luc Robitaille, Brian Leetch and Lou Lamoriello.
Brett and Bobby Hull are the only father-and-son combination to play in the NHL and be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Bobby Hull said he is enormously proud of his son and proud for his family.
"It was one thing to have a career that spanned 23 years professionally, as I did," Bobby Hull said. "But to have your kid come along and play the game the way Brett Hull played it and accomplish what he accomplished, playing the game the proper way and becoming the third-highest scorer in the history of the game, it is elating to me to be able to join him this weekend to go in the Hall of Fame, to be the only father and son, of any sport I think, in the Hall of Fame."
Hull was asked how he felt about his family joining the Patricks as the only multi-generational family members in the Hockey Hall of Fame and he beamed.
