Mr. Hockey
Mr. Hockey: My Story | Gordie Howe
9 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
"Going back to Howe's Depression-era roots and following him through his Hall of Fame career, his enduring marriage to his wife, Colleen, his extraordinary relationship with his children, and into the present, Mr. Hockey is the definitive account of the game's most celebrated legacy, as told by the man himself. Gordie's charm, wit, and wisdom are on full display as he takes you on a journey through his incredible life." --

Time for some hockey...visiting the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit 1) so I can see it before it is torn down and 2) so I can cheer on my favorite team in their only visit to town this season (#GoKingsGo!). We are literally in the very last row & this is our view. Not bad, huh?

melbeautyandbooks Hockeytown! Wow! 8y
moranadatter Hockey! Have fun. Wish I were there. 8y
GlitteryOtters @melbeautyandbooks @kmdartist thanks! I am so excited to be here! And, hockey nerd that I am, I just got super excited because former LA King & current radio color commentator Daryl Evans just walked by & I got to wave hi to him (while wearing my vintage Kings jersey 😂) 8y

LeahBergen I'm a huge hockey fan! 🏒 8y
sprainedbrain Looks like a great view to me! I also ❤️️ hockey...but go Blues!! 🏒 8y
GlitteryOtters @sprainedbrain when the seats in front of us are filled, we have to stand to see, but as we are the last row that isn't a problem for me (it is for my husband, though, as the ceiling is about 6'2" above our heads & he is 6'4" ??). 8y
GlitteryOtters @LeahBergen me too! I just realized that the Jersey I'm wearing is one of my oldest pieces of clothing (23 or 24 years old--my other oldest one is a U of Maine sweatshirt I bought back when Paul Kariya was freshman there & when Islanders GM Garth Snow played on the team 😂😂 All my oldest & most beloved clothing is hockey related!) 8y
britt_brooke Fun!! 8y
sprainedbrain @GlitteryOtters Well, you gotta stand anyway! 👍👍 8y
beccaeve Fun!! (I worked there briefly in high school.) 8y
GlitteryOtters @beccaeve I can't believe it took me so long to see a game there (I've lived in Ann Arbor since 1999. In my defense, I do not drive, which made things like getting down to Detroit a bit difficult) 8y
ValerieAndBooks I've been there a few times! Go Red Wings! Good memories. I can't believe they're tearing it down 😢 8y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've read a lot of hockey biographies in my time, but this one stands out for so many reasons. Mr. Howe will always be a legend and his legacy will live on in the hockey history books forever. He was obviously a humble man, his book is all about the history of his time in hockey instead of all about him. He talked about his family and friends and even his enemies with respect and admiration. A great read for hockey lovers.

Someone stole my reading spot. But I don't have the heart to interrupt him. We are a proud reading family.

Nothing makes more sense than reading the story of Gordie Howe while driving through the Canadian prairies.

Well, I'm off on vacation for a while. And I'll be taking a trusty hockey biography with me because they never disappoint. Especially one about a Canadian legend such as Gordie Howe, Mr. Hockey. I'll make sure to review as soon as I return.

Thank you to everyone who has followed me and read my Litsy updates. I haven't been here long, but I love this community because of the respect and appreciation that is so abundant!

Megabooks Have a great trip! 8y
GirlInGreyBoots Thank you! :) 8y
