We at the Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer’s were saddened to hear of the passing of Gordie Howe. His leadership and talents helped make hockey the world-class sport it is today. His legacy lives on in every child hitting the ice in the hopes of playing like “Mr. Hockey.” Our thoughts and prayers are with the Howe family.
