“I am truly humbled knowing that I am one of only eight people to have ever held the position of general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks,” said Tallon. “It is an honor and a privilege to be the general manager of one of the National Hockey League’s original six teams. I feel very comfortable with the challenges that lie ahead and I feel that I am prepared to meet those challenges head on.” Tallon, in his second stint with the Blackhawks front office, was named assistant general manager on November 5, 2003. He served four years (1998-2002) as the Blackhawks’ director of player personnel before he returned to the radio and television booth prior to the 2002-03 season as color analyst for Blackhawks hockey. Tallon is a native of Noranda, Quebec. He was the Vancouver Canucks’ first-round selection and the second player chosen overall (behind Gilbert Perreault, Buffalo) in the 1970 NHL Entry Draft. A defenseman, Tallon immediately jumped into the NHL with the Canucks in the 1970-71 season, scoring 56 (14 G, 42 A) points as a rookie. Tallon recorded a career-high 17 goals in 69 games with Vancouver during the 1971-72 season and appeared in the 1971 and 1972 NHL All-Star Games. In 1972, Tallon was picked as an alternate for Team Canada at the 1972 Summit Series against the USSR. Tallon was traded to the Blackhawks for Jerry Korab and Gary “Suitcase” Smith on May 14, 1973. He had his best season as a professional with the Blackhawks in 1975-76, scoring a career-high 47 assists and 62 points in 80 games, and often shared the blue line with Keith Magnuson. During his five-year Blackhawks career (1973- 78), Tallon scored 44 goals and added 112 assists for 156 points with 296 penalty minutes. Tallon was dealt to Pittsburgh on October 9, 1978 for a second-round choice (Ken Solheim) in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. He finished his playing career by playing two seasons with the Penguins, where he scored 43 points (10 G, 33 A) in 95 games. During his 10-year NHL career, Tallon scored 98 goals and added 238 assists for 336 points in 642 games with Vancouver, Chicago and Pittsburgh. After retiring from the NHL following the 1979-80 season, Tallon served as the Blackhawks color analyst for radio and television broadcasts for 16 seasons. At the start of the 1998-99 season, Tallon joined the Blackhawks’ front office as director of player personnel, traveling around the world while scouting hockey and aiding in selecting and developing the Hawks’ young talent. Dale and his wife, Meg, have two daughters, Lauren and Kristen, and reside in the northern suburbs. |
