Pilote joined the Chicago in 1955, won the Stanley Cup in 1961 and became the Blackhawks' captain the next season. Teamed with Moose Vasko for most of his career as one of the game's top defensive tandems, he won three Norris Trophies and was runner-up three times. He had the offensive skills to be a fixture on the power play, scoring 14 goals in 1964-65 when Chicago again reached the Cup finals, and a nasty side with his stick, twice amassing 160 penalty minutes in a season.
