Hilarious and often touching personal stories of being great in the shadow of greatness
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to have Gordie Howe as your dad? If youâre like thousands of Canadian children who grew up in the 1960s and â70s, you need look no further than Mark Howeâs funny, intimate account of being a Howe. As a boy, Mark playedball hockey with the kids of other Detroit Red Wings on the stairs of the Olympia, and his mom, Colleen, created a place where the neighbourhood children could play hockey in the winter, even to the detriment of her own windows. When Mark was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011, he honoured his father by proudly wearing Gordieâs retired #9 Red Wings jersey at the ceremony.
This book features many touching, even harrowing storiesGordie caring for his ailing wife as she was debilitated by Pickâs disease, and a freak accident that almost killed Mark on the ice. Featuring many never-before-published photographs of the Howes, this is a book about hockeyâs royal family told through the career of its Hall of Fame son.
