Mike Gartner was one of the fastest skaters and most consistent goal scorers in NHL history. Over 19 seasons, he played for five teams and tallied 708 goals and 1,335 points — without ever winning a Stanley Cup. Gartner scored 30 or more goals in 15 consecutive seasons, a feat matched by only a few players in league history.
Known for his explosive acceleration and quick release, he was a constant offensive threat whether at even strength or on the power play. Gartner earned seven All-Star selections and won the NHL’s fastest skater competition multiple times. Though often under the radar, his production spoke loudly.

He retired ranked third in all-time goals at the time and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001. A quiet superstar, Gartner's career is remembered for excellence, class, and remarkable consistency on the ice.

Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, Hull remains one of the greatest pure goal scorers the game has ever seen.
