  • Playing until the age of 52, Gordie scored 801 goals and 1,850 points in 1,767 regular-season games.
  • A 23 time NHL All-Star.
  • Four time Stanley Cup Champion: 1950, 1952, 1954 and 1955
  • He was the League’s top scorer in four straight seasons, from 1951-54, and again in 1956-57 and 1962-63.
  • Winning the Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy six times.
  • Pioneered his own hockey stable, the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
  • Set standards that were believed to be out of reach until “The Great One”, Wayne Gretzky arrived in the 1980′s

The Sydney Siege is over, and while it could have ended a lot worse, tragedy is still upon us.

While the gunman is dead, two hostages were killed.

Tori Johnson, 34, was the manager of the Lindt Cafe in which the siege was taking place. Johnson is being reported as a hero, as he had attempted to wrestle the gun away from the gunman just before police raided the cafe.

Katrina Dawson, 38, was a lawyer and mother of three. Our thoughts go out to her family, especially her children, as no one should have to lose a mother at such a young age. 

Four more are grievously injured, and we wish them all a speedy and smooth recovery. Please keep all the victims, their families, and their friends in your thoughts and prayers today as Australia, as a country, tries to come back from this horrific incident.

Remember, the actions of this man are only the actions of this man. He does not represent the Muslim community, he doesn’t not represent the Islamic religion. Do not take your anger out on any Muslim you may know, and Islam is a religion that promotes and practices peace, and the actions of this man cannot be blamed on the religion.
