The Chicago Blackhawks have a great history that has seen lots of great players come through and play for them, so which ones are the best?

The Chicago Blackhawks have one of the most storied franchises in the history of the National Hockey League. As a part of the Original Six franchises along with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Montreal Canadiens, the Boston Bruins, the New York Rangers and the Detroit Red Wings, they are one of the teams that helped develop the NHL into what it is today.

They have had some team success over different points in time. The Blackhawks were founded in 1926, and since then they have won the Stanley Cup six times. Chicago won it earlier in its history when the Blackhawks proved victorious in 1934, 1938 and 1961 before 1967 NHL Expansion.

Then, they went almost half a century without winning the trophy before they had a dynasty win the Stanley Cup three times in six seasons in the 2010s. 2010, 2013 and 2015 are the years the Blackhawks won it all. They also had deep playoff runs in 2009 and 2014 as well. The 2010s were the best decade in team history without question.

Naturally, with all of this success, there had to be some great players that came through to help the cause. They have had great depth in their success years, and of course some great stars. Hockey Hall of Famers and really good players were the keys and the Blackhawks had no shortage of them all.

One of the most important elements of hockey is scoring goals. The team that scores the most goals wins — it’s pretty simple. The Blackhawks have had some of the game’s best goal scorers over the years, so let us look at the 15 best goal scorers in the history of the Blackhawks.
