Gordie Howe, also known as "Mr. Hockey," is considered one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. He began his professional career in 1946 with the Detroit Red Wings and quickly established himself as a dominant force on the ice. Over the course of his career, Howe won four Stanley Cup championships and six Hart Memorial Trophies as the NHL's most valuable player. He retired from the NHL in 1971 but returned to the ice in 1973 to play for the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association, where he continued to play at a high level well into his 40s. Howe's longevity and skill earned him the respect and admiration of fans and fellow players alike, and he remains a beloved figure in the world of hockey. His legacy is further cemented by the fact that the NHL presents the Gordie Howe Hat Trick award to players who score a goal, record an assist, and engage in a fight in the same game, a testament to his all-around excellence as a player.
