The Hockey Hall of Fame unveiled a statue of "Mr. Hockey," Gordie Howe, on Friday.
Howe's sons, Mark and Marty, were in Toronto to help with the unveiling of the fittingly towering sculpture, which is located at the Hall of Fame's entrance.

The hockey giant's legendary career touched on five decades. He debuted with the Detroit Red Wings in 1946, and ended his career after the 1979-80 season when he was a member of the Hartford Whalers.
All told, he scored 801 goals and recorded 1,850 points in 1,767 NHL games - the most all time. He ranks second in league history in goals, and fourth in points.
He won four Stanley Cups, too.
Howe also spent six seasons in the now-defunct World Hockey Association before his final few years in the NHL, marking more than 30 seasons of top-level hockey.
He died on June 10, 2016, at the age of 88.
