On this day in 1971 Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe Retired.

"Gordie Howe combined strength, durability and toughness with a deft scoring touch. He was the NHL's career point-scoring leader from 1960 to 1989 and the league's top goal-scorer from 1963 to 1994. With deceptive speed, an effortless skating style, he had the ability to shoot left- or right-handed. His records include most selections to NHL all-star teams - 23 in total."

Gordie was born just outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan so he has a tremendous following here in Saskatchewan. Mike
