@Mike – There are so many people that don’t know about him. He came before ESPN and 24 hour news cycles like so many heroes from the past. Thanks for the kind words.

@Jeremy – They exist today, but harder to find. I think those guys from yesteryear had many of the same warts as today’s athletes, but of course, it was before 24 hour news cycles. They didn’t have to live up to the same public scrutiny as today’s stars. That being said, Gordie was exceptional and everyone knew it…

Howe was definitely one of the greats. It’s too bad that more modern athletes don’t strive to be both tenacious players and outstanding men. Stars like Howe are legendary because they were more than just great athletes.

My grandfather always wanted me to play hockey, but I never really took to it. Now, broomball, there’s a sport!

Before your post, Kevin, all I really knew about Gordie Howe was that he played hockey a long time and was featured on a Simpson’s episode. “Know that wherever I go, when I hear the wind blow, it will always whisper the name…Edna.” Thanks for the edification.

Naomi,
Very cool.

We need good comments…men or women.

Thanks for sharing. I always encourage anyone to go listen to him speak or hang out with him when he ventures down to Hockeytown. He won’t be around forever and there is so much to learn from him.

Thanks again.

OK, I’m not a man and I probably shouldn’t work too hard on my manliness. But I can still comment, right?

My father used to work with Gordie Howe, and he would always echo Mark and Marty’s sentiments. One amazing dude.
