Red Wings and Gordie Howe memorabilia

The first shoulder and elbow pads used by NHLers were made of felt and leather. Those gave way to more protective models with hard plastic shells. However, after a spate of facial injuries primarily caused by flying elbows, which Gordie Howe may have had something to do with, the NHL ordered that all pads must have a soft outer covering. “Mr. Hockey” was an offensive power (1,850 points in 1,767 NHL games) who amassed 1,685 career penalty minutes.
