Colorado Avalanche: Learning from the Great Gordie Howe

If you don’t know by now then I imagine there are certain internet avenues wholly unavailable to you, but Gordie Howe passed away last Friday morning at the age of 88.

Nadia Archuleta, MHS editor, said that I could wax enthusiastic for this article if I wanted to, and I don’t know about that level of fanatic for Gordie Howe, but he is definitely a hockey player — and man — worth remembering.

Ye ol’ “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” — a fight, a goal, and an assist in a game — takes on different meaning now that he has gone to a better place, so sayeth the old adage.
