Bobby Hull is part of a rare father-son record holder in this category

Bobby Hull and Brett Hull are one of the best father-son duos to ever play the game. Bobby, the former Chicago Blackhawks great, spent 15 years playing for a team that was then called the Black Hawks that included what is arguably the best single season in franchise history.

His son, Brett, ironically enough, spent most of his career playing for an all-too-familiar opponent, the St. Louis Blues. Unlike a sacred few father-son duos, they never played in the league at the same time, with Brett's career kicking off in 1986-87 while Bobby's ended after the 1979-80 season.

Still, both hold a certain career record for the teams they spent most of their time playing for. While Bobby holds the Blackhawks goal-scoring record with 604 goals, Brett clocks in at 527. What's even more interesting is that nobody else comes close, with Stan Mikita ending his career with the Hawks after finding twine 541 times.

As for Brett, he's up by nearly 200 goals, with Bernie Federko putting up 352 before his time ended in Arch City. That being said, this duo is in rare company, and it's no wonder both are Hockey Hall of Famers.

Brett and Bobby Hull were two NHL legends who clock in at No. 1 in career goals scored

Just how good was Bobby Hull? Factor in his WHA statistics, and he ended his career with 913 goals and 1,808 points in 1,474 games. To put things into perspective, Alex Ovechkin hasn't even gotten there prior to the 2025-26 season, which says a lot.

Brett Hull also averaged more than a point per game, finishing a 19-year career that saw him put up 1,391 points in 1,269 contests, with 741 of them finding twine. Brett also clocks in at No. 3 in most goals scored in a single season when he found the net 86 times in 1990-91.

It's worth mentioning they both won Hart Trophies, hoisted the Stanley Cup, and found their way onto the NHL's 100th anniversary team. If there was ever a legitimate way of saying a father-son duo accomplished everything there is to accomplish in hockey, Bobby and Brett got closer to that than anyone else.

Yeah, they say "records are meant to be broken," and while that's not untrue, it'll be tough to see anyone busting through their career goal-scoring records with the Blackhawks and Blues, respectively. We'll see if anyone's up to the challenge over the next two decades, maybe with a single-season record first.
