Dennis Hull will readily admit to not being anything other than Bobby Hull's brother, as long as you add he's the younger brother. And, he's even been known to answer to someone asking for Brett Hull's uncle. A self-effacing brother, Dennis himself, was known for his powerful shot on net. Bobby once said of his younger brother, "When Dennis is cranked up and lets go, there is no goalie who can stop the shot except by luck and accident." Like his famous brother Bobby, Dennis played in the National Hockey League from 1965 – 1977, so his insights in to the world of sports are not only personal, but professional. It is true, Dennis has a rapier wit, and a commentary on life and sports that keeps any audience doubled over with laughter. All in all, his presentations score high points for humor and presentation. During his National Hockey League career, Dennis scored 303 goals and had 351 assists in regular games. In 95 playoff games he scored 33 goals and had the same number of assists. Six selections to the All Star team are testament to his hockey skills. His biggest thrill in hockey was the first game he played against his idol, Gordie Howe, but the most significant time in his career came when he was selected to play for the memorable Team Canada of 1972. After retiring from hockey, Dennis continued his education, graduating from Brock University in 1981 with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Physical Education. During the summers of 1978 to 1982 he was the Director of Hockey, Sports Ridley. From 1980-1982, he taught history at Ridley College and also assumed responsibility for their entire hockey program. From 1982 until 1993 Dennis was the Athletic Director at a University in Chicago. Also during that period he spent a few years as the color commentator with the San Jose Sharks.
