Bobby Hull's relationship with his son Brett was nonexistent in the early years of Brett's career , The result of a messy and angry divorce . He lived on one side of the country his father lived on a farm in Ontario . His father had little to do with his hockey development , even less to do with his life .
Brett said he called him once to ask if he could be his agent , this is a man that he had not seen for half his twenty years at the time , He told his father , "no Christmas card or presents , no birthday card , no phone calls , nothing for the last ten years , you have the nerve to ask to be my agent ? the answer is no !!!
Brett gave this story in an interview with Saturday Night magazine ..

Over the years after that phone call they grew close , the animosities toward his father lessened as he matured and the two men grew close ...
