A true hockey icon and legend has passed, as Gordie Howe has died, according to several reports. Howe was a legend and a true iron man, playing professional hockey into his 50s. His 801 goals and 1,850 points were league records until a kid named Gretzky came along.
The Rangers infamously had Howe in their grasp, but let the then 15-year-old go back home after a rough experience at a pro training camp in 1943. The rest, as they say, is history.
RIP, Mr. Hockey.
