Today, we honor the best #44 as we are 44 days away from Hawkey season!! Did you guess correctly who the #44 was in the photo? It was a hard one!! The career summary below is brought to you by NBC Sports Chicago!
No. 44: Mike Peluso (LW, 1989-92)
We're going off the board for this one. He's No. 44 on the sweater but No. 1 in our hearts. Peluso spent three seasons in Chicago and made his presence felt during the 1991-92 campaign when he racked up 408 penalty minutes, which is the third-most ever in a single season. We like old-time enforcer hockey.
