ScottM Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 In honor of Mr. Hockey's 87th birthday, here's a flashback to his 6th decade in professional hockey. Sure, it was a stunt, and sure he only played one shift, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he laced up the skates at 69 and that he played all or part of an amazing five decades at the top of the game. https://youtu.be/W0OpcRymLVc Happy birthday, Gordie Howe!

WingNut722 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 What a guy! What a TOUGH guy! Thanks for posting! I forgot he had that game in the minors. I tried looking for a video of the actual shift just to see him skate again but I couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 @WingNut722 I tried to find a video of the shift too. I chose that one when I couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
