Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe dead at 88
Hockey legend Gordie Howe has died.
The Detroit Red Wings confirmed that the Hall of Famer died early Friday morning. Mr. Hockey, as Howe was known, had celebrated his 88th birthday in March with a sold-out crowd at Joe Louis Arena during a Red Wings games.
Howe suffered a serious stroke in October 2014. The hockey legend later underwent stem cell treatment in Mexico and his family saw significant improvement in him - enough that he was well enough to attend a dinner in his honour back in his hometown Sasktoon in February 2015.
