Back in 2002, the ESPN program SportsCentury decided to do an extensive profile on legendary Blackhawks forward Bobby Hull. The show didn’t just underscore Hull’s incredible feats as a hockey player, but detailed his horrific history “of spousal abuse, womanizing, drinking, ignoring his children, and suggestions of racist views.”
In the program, one of Hull’s former wives, Joanne, gave details of the abuse she suffered from Hull:
"I looked the worst after that Hawaii incident. I took a real beating there. [Bobby] just picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, threw me in the room, and just proceeded to knock the heck out of me.
