Description

This richly illustrated, thoroughly researched and completely unauthorized biography takes readers behind the legend of the great Gordie Howe. Signed by the Detroit Red Wings at 16, Gordie became a six-time leading scorer, a six-time Hart Trophy winner as the most valuable player, and he surpassed Rocket Richards NHL goals record to reach an amazing total of 801 unmatched for years until Gretzky finally caught up to his mentor and idol. This revealing book presents the true story of a man who changed the game of hockey forever.
