Gordie Howe is a hero to hockey fans and the idol of its greatest player, Wayne Gretzky. When Howe was 15 years old, he attended a New York Rangers training camp and unfortunately failed to impress. Sadly, the rest is history as he went to Detroit and led them to 4 Stanley Cups.
His first in 1950 came at the expense of the Rangers…go figure.
Gordie Howe was a tough SOB
Howe was one of the greatest all around players the game has ever seen.
