Gordie Howe is known as "Mr. Hockey" and he is still considered by many to be the greatest hockey player of all-time.

Howe not only scored and dished out some punishing checks, but he was an outstanding fighter. His most famous bout came against Lou Fontinato of the Rangers. About 50 seconds into this video, you can see what Fontinato looked like as a result of the bout.

To this day, a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" is a game where a player scores a goal, gets an assist and has a fight. It is a tribute to the diverse talents of Gordie Howe, the greatest fighter of the 1950s.
