Iconic Biographies Series – Gordie Howe
These biographical documentaries, originally commissioned for CBC’s storied “Life and Times” series, profile four unique Canadian athletes who, through achievement both within and outside of the arena, redefined their sports, entertained and inspired thousands of fans and changed the way we look at ourselves.
Using footage of game action, personal archives and exclusive interviews with the who’s who of the sporting world, each icon’s stories is told with entertaining and inspiring candor.
Remembered fondly as being “as tough as any man who played the game of hockey”, Gordie Howe’s story is marked not only by hard-fought records and hockey milestones, debilitating injury and recovery and unreal longevity, but also by the austere compassion of a Canadian farm boy whose heart is as big as the prairie skies. “Mr. Hockey” embodies all that is great about the game and delivers all that a fan can expect and more from a true sporting legend.
