Brett Hull

Brett Hull is, for me, one of hockey's purest goal scorers, and a fascinating study in legacy. Born in Ontario and later American by citizenship, he carried the weight of an enormous family name and answered it with his own shot rather than borrowed glory. The 1991 Hart Trophy, the 1990 Lady Byng, a Stanley Cup, and a Hall of Fame plaque leave nothing to argue. What I respect most is that he never let his father's fame define him; he built an identity out of sheer scoring genius. Staying on in a front-office role afterward shows a love for the game that outlasted his playing days.
