One very early hockey milestone worth note is Brett's (along with his Winnipeg South Monarchs team) winning of the prestigious Quebec Winter Carnaval Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament in 1977. Even at this very early stage of his career. Brett could rifle a slapshot that sparked fear in young goaltenders. One honorary attendee at the championship game. (a 10 time Stanley Cup champion with the Montreal Canadiens) visited the Winnipeg dressing room just to meet 'the young Hull'.
When Bobby and Joanne Hull separated in 1979. Brett his brother Blake and his sister Michelle moved to with their mother. Brett played bantam and then midget hockey at the North Shore Hockey Club as well as competing in and. Hull was also involved in the were he has a few records that still stand today.
Brett Hull was drafted out of the Junior A Penticton Knights as the 117th overall pick (sixth round) in the by the. Hull then played two years of U. S college hockey for the. He made his international debut for Team USA at the 1986 in where he was his team's leading scorer. Being born in Canada he would also have been eligible to play for Team Canada; however at the time the Team Canada management did not show an interest in him. Thus he would play for Team USA for the remainder of his career in turn alienating himself from many Canadian hockey fans who thought of him as a "traitor" to Canada. After the 1986 Championships. Hull turned pro playing his first NHL game in the 1986 Stanley Cup Finals. He spent most of the 1986-87 season with the minor league being named to the 's First All-Star Team and receiving the as the league's top rookie before being recalled to the NHL for good in the. On he was traded to the for whom he played most of his career.
While in St. Louis. Hull developed into a prolific goal scorer and was amongst the best players in the. Hull and linemate were dubbed "Hull and Oates" (a pun on the well-known musical duo of ). In Hull’s best season he scored 86 goals the third highest mark ever recorded in one season also setting a new record for right wingers in goals. That year he was awarded the as the NHL's Most Valuable Player. He also represented the United States at the where he again emerged as the Yankee team's leading scorer with nine points in eight games as the Americans lost to Team Canada in the finals. Hull and Team USA got their revenge five years later in the where he scored the decisive goal in the final game against the Canadians and also was elected to the tournament All-Star team.
Midway through the the traded Adam Oates to the for. Although talented. Janney was not of the same caliber as the highly skilled Oates.
Though Hull's play declined during the remainder of his term with the Blues he continued to be a perennial all-star and averaged more than one point per game in each of his seasons in St. Louis. Two of his three career four-goal games came with the Blues; first on against and again on during the home opener against both of which were wins. He also went on to score his in a win over the in which his milestone goal also capped a.
Hull played eleven seasons for the Blues before signing with the as a free agent before the. During his initial season his traditional jersey number. 16 was being worn by Stars forward so Hull wore number 22 for that season switching back to 16 in the 1999 offseason after Verbeek left the team. Hull scored his milestone 600th goal (and later his 601st goal) during a New Years Eve 1999 5-4 victory over Anaheim. He helped the Stars capture the that season scoring a controversial Cup-winning goal off his own rebound in the third overtime period of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals against goalie. Video replay showed that Hull's skate was in the crease which the Sabres argued was a violation of a rule then in effect that disallowed goals if an offensive player was in the goal crease. The goal was reviewed as the Stars celebrated on the ice but was allowed to stand by the video review officials who ruled that Hull's three consecutive shots on Hašek the third of which went in constituted possession of the puck through to the end of the play (the rule allowed for a player to bring the puck into the crease and score). The legality of the goal is still debated and it is arguably the most disputed Cup-winning goal in NHL history. The crease interference rule which was introduced in 1997 amid widespread criticism was eliminated the following season. Ironically. Hull and Hašek later won the as teammates in with the.
In the 1999-2000 season. Hull's regular season effectiveness was limited by injuries though he still put up respectable numbers.

On. Hull signed a two-year. $4.5 million contract with the who un-retired his father’s jersey for him. 's #9 jersey had been originally retired by the franchise on when they were still the.

The University of Minnesota Duluth retired his #29 jersey on and later that same year on December 5. 2006 the St. Louis Blues retired his #16.
