The Third Best Hull

This is a great book. Humourous Real life stories

Original 6 hockey was a special product that was as infectious as impetigo, just a lot less itchy. The Chicago Black Hawks were a very charismatic team, led by Bobby Hull, who was one of the most charismatic athletes of all-time. There was a deep pool of talent on this team, though they were perennial runners-up for the Stanley Cup.Dennis Hull was Bobby's kid brother, not nearly as well known, nor as talented as his older brother, but still a solid NHL veteran player.Dennis was not given to interviews, and was not a media darling. He was one of the cast who were lesser profile on a great team.In this book, he peels the covers off of a great locker room, and a close knit ensemble of Black Hawk players. He has three careers, and while winning the Summit series on the Henderson line was perhaps his career highlight, his third career as a public speaker may be his most fulfilling. He has found his voice and outlet for a wonderful sense of humor.Here, in this slim tome, he tells hilarious stories of his teammates, and life as a professional major league hockey player. Not much escapes his wit, including himself. Growing up in Chicago, and a rabid Black Hawk fan, I found the book especially enjoyable, having followed the cast of characters game to game.Born to a family of eleven children, and being in the shadow of a legend in his brother, Dennis has learned to savor life. I am glad I picked this book up. I only wish it would have to continued for another 150 pages.

Hochey fan...my time!

Dennis is a GREAT writer/speaker! This book made me L0L!

The book is so much more than just the life of Dennis Hull, it is a look into their family and filled with lots of great stories about some of the greatest hockey players of all time. It is an enjoyable book to read.
