Dennis Hull
Team Canada # 10

Member of the most distinguished hockey family in Canadian hockey, Dennis Hull was a powerful NHL forward with impressive hard shot on goal and good skating speed. Although he was definitely overshadowed by the talent of his older brother Bobby, his solid performance in professional hockey shouldn’t be overlooked. One of the biggest disputes around the team Canada roster at the 1972 Summit was absence of Bobby Hull due to his just signed lucrative contract with the WHA. Dennis Hull was a nice representation of his family in Team Canada 1972.
