Non-Fiction Biography
The definitive autobiography from hockey’s greatest living
legend—“Mr. Hockey” himself, Gordie Howe.
Big, skilled, tough on the ice, and nearly indestructible,
Howe dominated both the sport and the record books like no
one has before or since. Over an incredible six decades, the
Hall of Famer had so many accomplishments that he set the
record for the most records by any athlete ever in any
sport. He also achieved the remarkable feat of playing for
six years with his own two sons, Mark and Marty.
But Howe did not inspire generations of hockey players
simply by rewriting the record books. When people talk about
him, it’s the man they revere even more than the player.
Despite his ferocity on the ice, Howe’s name has long been a
byword for decency and generosity. A family man, a man of
his word, a lifelong ambassador for the game, he is a true
icon, and now he takes us through it all, from his
Depression-era childhood and early obstacles through the ups
and downs of his spectacular career, to his enduring
marriage and close relationship with his children, to his
thoughts on the game of hockey today.
There has never been a comprehensive account of Howe’s life
from the man himself. Now is the time.
