Classic Auctions is offering one of the most important milestone pucks ever! Signed by Detroit in 1944, Howe would finally crack the Motor City lineup on October 16th, 1946. In true Howe fashion, the 18-year-old right winger scored his first of 1071 professional goals (including both regular season and playoffs in the NHL and WHA) that night against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit’s Olympia.
Switching to his famed number “9” after his rookie season and becoming a mainstay in Detroit’s lineup for 25-years, Howe would lead the Red Wings to four (4) Stanley Cup Championships, win six (6) Hart and six (6) Art Ross Trophies and be named an NHL All-Star a total of twenty-one (21) times.
After a 32-season career that went into five decades, 52-year-old Gordie Howe ended his professional playing days. On April 6, the final day of the 1979-80 season in a game against the Red Wings, Gordie netted his final regular-season goal, potting the marker at 11:25 of the 2nd period for the 801st goal of his career, which served as his 1850th career point.
During the Hartford Whalers’ preliminary round, on April 9, 1980 against the Montreal Canadiens, he scored his final playoff goal, the 68th of his remarkable career, which was assisted by his son Mark, making it the only NHL game in which all three Howe relatives earned points.
That these would be his final contributions became known when he officially announced his retirement on June 4.
This plaque – recently on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame (2019-22) – features both of these historical pucks, and Classic Auctions is excited to announce that it is being offered in our current November 2023 Auction!
