R.I.P. Gordie Howe at 88

[Mugwump]

?Mr. Hockey? has passed away at the age of 88. Here are a few stories about one of the greatest hockey players to ever take the ice.

Howe was the only hockey player to compete in five separate decades, but he added a sixth in 1997. He played one game for the Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League in 1997. Howe was 69 at the time.

Gordie Howe Hat Trick

Howe was as frequent a brawler as he was a scorer?he started a lot of fights on the ice. There?s an unofficial hockey accomplishment called the ?Gordie Howe Hat Trick.? While a regular hat trick is three goals in one game, the Howe version indicates a player scored a goal, got an assist, and got in a fight all in the same game. (Howe himself only actually got two Gordie Howe hat tricks, one in October 1953 and the other five months later.)
