Chico Maki played all fourteen of his NHL seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks.   However, since he suited up for Games 1 and 2 of the 1961 Stanley Cup Finals (he didn’t play in them), he actually had his name etched on the Cup before he began any of those fourteen campaigns.

Harold “Mush” March played his entire career with the Chicago Blackhawks, and he wasn’t just a hockey player with a colorful name.  The Right Wing would play 761 Games in the NHL, all of which were with Chicago, where he scored 384 Points.  March’s best season was in 1935/36, where he finished eighth in Goals and seventh in Assists, and he would help the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in both 1934 and 1938.
A more than solid Defenseman throughout his NHL career, Keith Brown was the seventh overall Draft Pick in 1979, and he would go on to play 876 Games in the league, 812 of them in Chicago.  Brown was a good two-way blueliner who would have two 40 Point seasons and had 465 Points total for Chicago.

Roy Conacher was already a two-time Stanley Cup Champion (with Boston) and a World War II veteran before he arrived at the Blackhawks in his early 30s, and while it would have been a reasonable assumption for most fans and pundits to think that his best seasons were behind him.  That wasn’t the case as he would still be a productive player and would put forth his best season in the 1948/49 campaign, where he was a First Team All Star, the Art Ross Trophy winner, and the leader in Power Play and Game-Winning Goals.  He would follow that up with two more 50 Point seasons.
