Howie Meeker, who went from Stanley Cup-winner to Canadian hockey icon as a colourful TV hockey analyst who wore his heart on his sleeve, has died. He was 97.
He was once NHL “Rookie of the Year” and won the Stanley Cup four times with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I have many great memories of watching Howie Meeker as a kid growing up and learned a lot about hockey from him.
His “Gosh Golly Gee Willkers” sayings made him famous.
Rest easy Howie.
