Travel with Barry: E. 2 - This Unique Statue of All Time Great Hockey Player Gordie Howe is in the middle of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada!


Here I am in about 4' of snow, beside Gordie Howe and this famous statue of him, near the big rink in town -- in Saskatoon, where he is from.

His ashes, and his wife's are both now here, as of last August, 2016. I did my Grade 3 book report on him, he was one of my favourite players ever.

Howe was born in Floral, Sask., but his family moved nine days later to Saskatoon, where he grew up before embarking on a record-setting hockey career in the United States.

He died on June 10, 2016 at the age of 88. International media was all over this, he was a great ambassador for the game, honestly.

Numerous facilities and a street in Saskatoon have been named in Howe’s honour and a proposal following his death to name one of the city’s bridges after him is also going ahead.

Howe spent 26 seasons in the NHL and six in the World Hockey Association. He is still No. 2 on the NHL’s all-time goals list behind Wayne Gretzky.

Why This Series, Barry?

--

I was driving across the country here and there and have TONS of photos from my various journey around North America.

I decided to start posting some of them since some people have encouraged me to post more personal things over the months which I have done.

This photo is from my Cross Country Mission Trip in 2006 where I called it Coast to Coast w. the Holy Ghost LOL.

Technically lately the last while I started posting travel pictures, and never thought of starting another series with them, which is funny, because I have come up with and run so many series' here on Steemit LOL.
