The Chicago Blackhawks have had a lot of great players in their franchise history, but really only a few ever got to hoist the Stanley Cup and today’s Hawk is one of those few.
Pilote began his career with the Chicago Blackhawks in the mid-50’s which were about as dark of an age of Blackhawks hockey as the early 2000’s were.
The Blackhawks started developing young stars back then with the names of Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull, but it was on the blue line that Pilote worked his craft to perfection.
PIlote is only one of three defenseman to ever win the Norris Trophy 3 straight seasons something Bobby Orr or Ray Bourque never accomplished.
