George Gee played in the second greatest dark age of Chicago Blackhawks history during the late 1940’s and early 1950’s when the team had some of it’s worst records and seasons. Gee wasn’t a superstar but had some real solid seasons averaging 18 goals a season with Chicago, but he never was a star of the team with the Bentley brother dominating the goals and the press coverage of the Blackhawks in that era.

Sadly there isn’t any youtube videos of Gee back in the day to look back on, but there is a story about how he left us back in 1972. Gee was playing in a Detroit Old Timers Game back in 72, and in between the 2nd and 3rd period he went out for a smoke and ended up having a massive heart attack. At least he went out playing the game he loved I guess.

Gee ranks #98 on our list! What do you think? Too low or shouldn’t have made the list?

Only 98 days until the season starts at the United Center on October 5th!
