Detroit Red Wings legend Gordie Howe was a larger than life figure in the hockey world. Fittingly, Mr. Hockey has been honored with larger than life statue at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
The statue of Howe measures more than eight feet tall and stands at the entrance to the Hall of Fame. It was unveiled with the help of Howe's sons, Mark, the Red Wings director of pro scouting, and Marty.
Gordie Howe, who passed on June 10, 2016, at age 87, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972 after retiring following 25 seasons with the Red Wings.
