Gordie Howe (1928-2016), one of the most prolific scorers in the history of the game, starred with the Detroit Red Wings from 1946-1971. The winner of six NHL scoring titles (1951-1954, 1957, 1963) and six MVP Awards (1952, 1953, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1963), his combined USHL-NHL-WHL records at his retirement in 1980 included 975 goals, 1,383 assists and 2,358 points. He scored at least 20 goals in 27 consecutive seasons. With the Red Wings, Howe won four Stanley Cups (1950, 1952, 1954, and 1955). When Howe, on the NHL Hartford Whalers, retired at the age of 52, he was the oldest player ever to play major league hockey. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972. His legacy lives on with the infamous Gordie Howe hat trick: a goal, an assist, and a fight in a single game. In 2008, Howe was named the first recipient of the NHL Lifetime Achievement Award.
