Obit watch: June 10, 2016.

Wanted to get this in before another busy weekend: Gordie Howe. ESPN.

By the time he retired for the second and final time in 1980 as the oldest player in N.H.L. history, Howe had set records for most seasons (26), games played (1,767), goals (801), assists (1,049) and points (1,850). He won both the Hart Trophy as the N.H.L.’s most valuable player and the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s top points scorer six times.

I’ve never been a huge hockey fan, but even I knew who Gordie Howe was, and kind of liked the guy.
