There are numbers in hockey history that carry a weight beyond the scoresheet — and No. 9 worn by Bobby Hull in Chicago is one of them. “The Golden Jet” was one of the most electrifying players the sport has ever produced: a physical specimen with a booming slap shot clocked at over 118 mph that defenders genuinely feared, combined with skating speed that made him nearly impossible to contain. Hull won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 1961 — Chicago’s last championship for half a century — and went on to lead the NHL in goal scoring seven times. He was a two-time Hart Trophy winner, a three-time Art Ross Trophy winner, and the first player in NHL history to score more than 50 goals in a single season. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983, Bobby Hull’s legacy is woven into the very fabric of the game.
This 16×20 Custom Mat is a genuinely special piece for any serious hockey collector. The art features a vivid action photograph of Hull in full flight in his iconic Blackhawks red, stick low, number 9 blazing — the image alone captures exactly why arenas went electric when he had the puck. But the centerpiece of the design is the bevel-cut window, shaped in the form of a bold number 9, perfectly framing a full-sized 12-inch official jersey number hand-signed by Hull himself. This isn’t a signed puck or an index card — it’s a display-ready artifact built around the very number that defined his identity on the ice.
