Through unique photographs and words, this book captures what Gordie Howe has meant to a storied franchise, teammates, a legion of loyal fans and the entire hockey world. Mr. Hockey shattered scoring records and established himself as the face of the game during his 26 seasons in the National Hockey League. Howe won four Stanley Cups, six Hart Trophies as league MVP, and six scoring titles. Following his playing days in Detroit, Howe was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972, but returned to hockey to play with his sons for two additional pro seasons. Famous for his fierce elbows, uncanny scoring ability and legendary charisma, Howe retired with 801 goals, 1,049 assists and 1,850 points -- all NHL records at the time.

This review is from: Nine: A Salute to Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe (Paperback)
Was disappointed in how it came and had to send it back. They had it wrapped in plastic too tight and the corners were turned up.

This review is from: Nine: A Salute to Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe (Paperback)
I was very impressed with this book. I purchased this book for my grandson and he and an adult friend of his family sat there for hours with that book going over the pages and talking about the information they were getting from the book. I would rcommend this book for any person who is a history buff but more importantly any one who is a Red Wing hockey fan.
