I thought I'd put this here rather than in the death list -

"Mr. Hockey" Gordie Howe, whose career spanned six decades and included four Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings, died Friday, his son, Marty Howe, told CNN. He was 88.

The Hockey Hall of Famer had had health struggles in recent years, suffering a stroke in 2014. A statement from the Howe family said he passed away peacefully Friday morning with his family by his side.

As a six-time league MVP, Howe arguably was one of the sport's greatest players, scoring 801 goals in his 26 years in two stints in the National Hockey League.

Story

Yeah, I saw this earlier this morning. I always hated the red wings for as long as I can remember but Gordie was a respectable dude. Right up there with LeMieux, and of course Clarke. RIP Mr Hockey.
