Brett Hull releases a touching statement on the passing of his father Bobby Hull

In case you missed the news earlier today, the Hull family announced the passing of NHL and WHA legend Bobby Hull at 84 years old.

Hull, of course, is a Hockey Hall of Famer and created a lasting legacy in the sport, a legacy that was picked up and improved upon by his son Brett Hull.

The younger Hull, who went by The Golden Brett as a nod to his father The Golden Jet, released a statement himself today on his father's passing.
