As we, at WGN Radio, prepare to welcome the Chicago Blackhawks into the “Century Club,” we are celebrating Chicago’s Original 6 hockey organization by highlighting over 100 players, coaches, executives, broadcasters and personalities that have been a part of Blackhawks’ 100-year history. Every weekday leading up to and through the 2025-26 season, you will hear about a different all-time Blackhawks figure in both the morning and afternoon WGN Radio sports reports, and here on WGNRadio.com. Several eras of Chicago hockey will be represented in our profiles, voiced by Dave Eanet, Andy Masur, Charlie Roumeliotis, Kevin Powell and Jack Heinrich.

We previously covered Bill Mosienko. Next up:

Curt Fraser

by Kevin Powell

Curt Fraser was known for his hard style of play as a forward. Acquired in a trade with Vancouver in 1982, his best season came during the 1985-86 season, recording 68 points in just 61 games. He netted 25 or more goals in three straight seasons. He was eventually traded to Minnesota, calling it a career in 1990. Fraser became the first head coach of the expansion Atlanta Thrashers in 1999.
