This is a day late but I'm shocked this wasn't posted. Gordie Howe is a hockey legend and is regarded as a top 5 player of all time

There will never be another Gordie Howe. The greatest ambassador for a sport you could ever hope for.

A legend.

Dude played pro hockey in 6 different decades

Only player to play in the NHL in five different decades.
then he played a shift in the IHL
To say that NHL legend Gordie Howe — also known as Mr. Hockey — had a remarkable career would be a huge understatement.

One of his greatest achievements? Playing until he was 52 years old … and oh, by the way, in his final season for the Hartford Whalers, he score 15 goals and totaled 41 points.

But back in October of 1997, when Howe was 69 years old, the Detroit Vipers of the IHL got him to suit up one more time for a game, giving him the chance to have played in a whopping six decades.

Wierdly enough during the first round of the NHL playoffs, I was near MSG and they were giving out Rangers signs and I took one and put it my bag. Later I'm getting off the subway and this drunken possible homeless dude see the sign and walks over to me and starts talking to me about Lord Stanley's cup and the whole tradition behind it. And he follows me across the street talking hockey. And I wait to see where he's going so I can go the opposite way. And as he walks away, he says, my grandfather's, uh, um, uh, my grandfather's brother is Gordie Howe.

And it sounded like he was telling the truth.
