Gordie Howe was a hockey icon during his time
playing in the NHL and in the WHA. He was born on March 31, 1928 to humble
roots in Saskatchewan. He joined the Detroit Red Wings at the age of 18 and was
a part of four Stanley Cups. Howe died Friday morning at 88 years old, this
after surviving two strokes in late 2014 when it seems to be close to the end
for Howe. But Howe like a true warrior survived and recovered from the strokes,
putting many fans at ease. According to the Detroit free press Howe went
peacefully and without regrets early this morning. Many of the younger
generations will remember Howe for the infamous "Gordie Howe hat
trick", which Howe only did twice in his career.
