Who are Bobby Hull's children?

Bobby had seven children; five of them were born while he was still married to his ex-wife Joanne. His sons Brett, Bart, Bobby Jr, and Blake were all hockey players. He also had a daughter named Michelle, who is currently a figure skater. He had another daughter, Jessica, with his girlfriend Claudia Allen. His seventh child was a daughter named Beth Carriero Anderson, whose mother was from Ontario, Canada, according to Hollywood Reporter. However, information is sparse about Jessica and Beth.

Bobby Jr

Bobby Hull Jr, the star's eldest son, made an effort to emulate his father. He participated in the WHL Lethbridge Broncos' major junior hockey program, as reported by Elitesports.

Bobby Jr, Blake, and Brett Hull's player rights were transferred from Lethbridge to the QMJHL Cornwall Royals in September 1979. He had a 23-year playing career in the National Hockey League (NHL) and World Hockey Association with the Chicago Black Hawks, Winnipeg Jets, and Hartford Whalers (WHA), as per reports.

Blake Hull

Blake Hull, Bobby Hull's second oldest son, also aspired to follow in his father's footsteps. Bobby arranged for his sons to play in the less physical QMJHL when the Hull brothers drew interest from the Cornwall Royals, as reported by Eliteprospects. The Cornwall Royals signed Bobby Jr, Blake, and Brett in September 1979. Blake was unable to make the squad roster and was assigned to the EOJHL Char-Lan Rebels.

Brett Hull

Brett Andrew Hull, a Canadian-American former ice hockey player, was born on August 9, 1964. He currently serves as the executive vice president of the National Hockey League's St Louis Blues (NHL). Between 1986 and 2005, he was a member of the Calgary Flames, St Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, and Phoenix Coyotes, as reported by Golden.com. He is one of five players to score 50 goals in 50 games, and his 741 career goals rank fifth in NHL history. He was a part of two Stanley Cup-winning squads, the Dallas Stars in 1999 and the Detroit Red Wings in 2002. Hull was listed among the 100 Greatest NHL Players of all time in 2017.

Bobby and Brett are the only father-son team to have been the league's top goal scorers, winning the Lady Byng Trophy, the Hart Memorial Trophy (Bobby twice, Brett once), and both (Bobby seven times and Brett three times). Hull regularly brought his sons, Bobby Jr, Blake, and Brett, to team practices so they could skate because he wanted them to have the same opportunities as he did, as reported by Wikiwand.

Bart Hull

Bart Hull, Bobby's youngest son, was a football player for the Boise State University Broncos, the Ottawa Rough Riders, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, as reported by WikiWand. He also played professional hockey for the Idaho Steelheads. Bobby Jr Hull and Blake Hull were also hockey players.

He did not follow in his father's footsteps, unlike his brothers. He grew up playing hockey but quit at the age of 13 to pursue a career in American football. His CFL career lasted only five games due to injury, as per reports.

Michelle Hull

The talented figure skater Michelle Hull, Bobby Hull's daughter, was the youngest winner of the British Columbia Pre-Novice Championship at the age of 11. She had to give up figure skating owing to recurring knee injuries, but she is now an attorney with a dual-state license, as reported by NHL Fandom.
