Bob Murray is one of the few players who played all of his 1,000-plus Games in the National Hockey League with one team, which, obviously, for this list, was the Chicago Blackhawks.  The Defenceman would be named to two All-Star Games, where he would average roughly a half-point per game as an NHL Player. 

Max Bentley was not supposed to play in the NHL as the native of Saskatchewan was told by the Montreal Canadiens (who had his rights) that a heart condition would prevent him from being a professional hockey player.

As you can see, the Habs physician was wrong.

Jeremy Roenick made a claim as one of the greatest American born forwards in hockey history and luckily for the Chicago Blackhawks it was there where he was the most productive.

The second Russian-born player in the NHL (though he arrived in Canada before he was one year old) played his entire National Hockey League career with the Chicago Blackhawks.  Gottselig could do it all for Chicago.  He could score, he could check, and he was a locker room leader, and he was an integral part of Chicago’s 1934 and 1938 Stanley Cup wins, the latter of which would see him lead all skaters in Points.  Gottselig, who would finish ninth in Goals twice, would be named a Second Team All-Star in the 1938-39 campaign, where he was a third-place finisher for the Hart Trophy.
