Gordie Howe, also known as “Mr. Hockey,” suffered a serious stroke on Sunday in his home in Texas, according to a statement from his son.
“It has affected his entire right side,” Marty Howe said. “We are all on our way to Texas to see Gordie. He is not looking good but don’t give up on him yet.”
Howe, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972, played 25 seasons with the Red Wings–during which time the team won four Stanley Cups–and later played for three years with the Whalers. Howe is 86 years old.
