Biographical Record
Gordon 'Gordie' Howe (1928–2016), universally honored as Mr. Hockey, was the complete hockey player: powerful, rugged, exceptionally skilled, and possessing legendary longevity. Leading the Detroit Red Wings to four Stanley Cup championships in the 1950s, Howe played professional hockey across five separate decades (1940s to 1980s).
A 23-time NHL All-Star, Howe won six Hart Trophies as league MVP and six Art Ross Trophies as scoring champion. The 'Gordie Howe Hat Trick'—a goal, an assist, and a fight in a single game—immortalized his blend of finesse and grit.
