Gordie, Revised Edition

Praised by reviewers, Gordie: A Hockey Legend has been a best seller in both hardcover and paperback, and it remains the only full-length biography to cover Gordie Howe's entire playing career. In the introduction, author Roy MacSkimming recounts Gordie and Colleen Howe's reactions to this unauthorized biography, relates Howe's many attempts to retire, and describes the tragic illness that afflicted Colleen Howe and transformed the couple's life together. Gordie reminds us of Howe's enduring importance in the rapidly changing world of hockey.

Roy MacSkimming is a sometime defenseman (shoots left), hockey dad and lifelong fan. In addition to two hockey books, Gordie: A Hockey Legend and Cold War: The Amazing Canada-Soviet Hockey Series of 1972, both published by Greystone, he has written four novels, including Macdonald and Laurier in Love, as well as The Perilous Trade: Publishing Canada's Writers. His website is www.roymacskimming.com .

Ice hockey player

Gordon HoweOC (March 31, 1928 – June 10, 2016) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. From 1946 to 1980, he played 26 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) and six seasons in the World Hockey Association (WHA); his first 25 seasons were spent with the Detroit Red Wings. Nicknamed "Mr. Hockey", Howe is often considered the most complete player ever to play the game and one of the greatest of all time.^[2]^[3] At his retirement, his 801 goals, 1,049 assists, and 1,850 total points were all NHL records that stood until they were broken by Wayne Gretzky, who himself has been a major champion of Howe's legacy. A 23-time NHL All-Star, he shares the NHL record for seasons played with Chris Chelios, and his all-time NHL games played record of 1,767 was only surpassed in 2021 by Patrick Marleau. In 2017, Howe was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players".^[4]

Howe made his NHL debut with the Red Wings in 1946. He won the Art Ross Trophy for leading the league in points
