HARRY HOWELL

When the 2019 edition of the Hockey Heroes calendar was published, featuring the Hockey Hall of Fame photo collection, they saved the best for last. Featured for the month of December is this glorious black & white photo of New York Rangers defenceman Harry Howell.

The caption under the photo reads: "Harry Howell, an Honoured Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame since 1979, pins Montreal's Andre Pronovost against the boards while Ranger teammate Jean-Guy Gendron looks on. Howell was the Norris Trophy winner in 1967, one year before Bobby Orr's unprecedented eight consecutive seasons as the recipient of the NHL's best defenceman award."

Today, would've been Harry's 87th birthday, he passed away earlier this year.
