About Howe Hockey Tours
Howe Hockey Tours was developed to provide expanded options to elite level prospects by matching top quality North American talent with elite level European players in a culturally rewarding tour format. We believe that the Howe Hockey tour experience is the best in the industry for one simple reason, we know our hockey! There are several sports tour agencies out there that are trying to be all things to all people. Howe Hockey Tours differentiates ourselves from our competition by knowing our product. We have built aliases with key European partners and have prescreened any and all events that our teams participate in. Our strategy for player improvment is simply, play with the best against the best and your game will improve. Howe Hockey Tours realizes that groups of 30-40 persons cannot be forced into a pre-planned canned itinerary, that is why we work with group leaders to customize elements of the tour to make sure that all our groups get the experience they are looking for.
The Howe Family
Gordie Howe's extraordinary talent, fame and allure helped the NHL to expand by over 350% during his tenure and also spawn a whole new league-- the World Hockey Association. When he retired from the sport he held more records than any team athlete in history.
He is the first father in history to play a major sport with not one but two sons professionally for seven years. Gordie came out of retirement in 1973 to team up with the two boys. They won the championship that year with Mr. Hockey® the MVP at the age of 45 and Mark the rookie of the year. He is considered the most durable athlete in history and amazingly he had his best seasons at the age of 41 and 48 years. He retired at age 52 in the NHL as a member of the Hartford Whalers leading the team to the playoffs.
Today, Gordie continues to serve as a role model and ambassador to generations of fans and players alike. He has remained an unblemished sportsman. Humble, sincere, and approachable he has inspired the likes of the great one Wayne Gretzky and the fantastic Bobby Orr. He is a hero to many, an icon of our time. He is and always will be MR Hockey®!
