About this item

The definitive autobiography from hockeys greatest living legendMr. Hockey himself, Gordie Howe.Big, skilled, tough on the ice, and nearly indestructible, Howe dominated both the sport and the record books like no one has before or since. Over an incredible six decades, the Hall of Famer had so many accomplishments that he set the record for the most records by any athlete ever in any sport. He also achieved the remarkable feat of playing for six years with his own two sons, Mark and Marty.But Howe did not inspire generations of hockey players simply by rewriting the record books. When people talk about him, its the man they revere even more than the player. Despite his ferocity on the ice, Howes name has long been a byword for decency and generosity.
