Are you sure about skating with the Rangers in the early 60's.

Hull came up with the Hawks in 1957 and would stay in the league until he jumped (pushed by Wirz), after the 1972 season. I have not read or heard about him skating with anyone else, even in an exhibition. Rules and insurance would have made that very difficult.

Didn't realize he even played 5 games. I remember that he scored 1 goal and was very disappointed that he didn't make it. I had no cable then and never saw him as a Ranger.
