Roenick netted 53 goals in the 1991-92 season and helped lead the Hawks to the Stanley Cup final, where they were swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He recorded greater than 100 points in three-consecutive seasons and represented the Hawks in the All-Star Game four separate times.

Roenick had stints in Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Jose and Los Angeles after his eight seasons in Chicago, but he is remembered as one of the final bright spots before the bottom fell out on the franchise.
