Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe died Friday morning in Ohio, CBS News has confirmed. He was 88.
Howe suffered a “significant” stroke in 2014, his son, Marty Howe, told CNN Sports.
Howe spent 25 seasons from 1946 to 1971 playing for the Detroit Red Wings, winning four Stanley Cups and becoming one of its most famous players.
He later emerged from retirement to play in the World Hockey Association and eventually the NHL’s Hartford Whalers.
His success on the ice earned him the nickname “Mr. Hockey.”
He will forever be remembered as a hockey legend as a member of the Hall of Fame.
