I got this book for Christmas, it's not something I would have picked up for myself, but I found I really enjoyed it. Murray makes a point of writing about the person his father was, rather than the hockey player. I found that I was chuckling at various points, and sharing passages with my mother, who bought me the book. I don't pay that much attention to hockey so I only knew Gordie Howe by name, but I enjoyed the reading none-the-less. I was much more familiar with people like Gretzky (who I could actually recognize in a photo) and anecdotes from added to this sort of 'unearthing' of Mr. Hockey for me.

Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Unlike his two brothers, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional athlete. Yet his failure brought him to the realization that his dream wasn't really to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it was a waste of time wishing you were like someone else.
