National Hockey League great Gordie Howe has died at the age of 88, the Detroit Red Wings have confirmed. Howe, known as Mr Hockey, is widely regarded as one of the sports greatest players, playing his first 25 years with the Red Wings and holding a number of scoring records that were only broken by Wayne Gretzky.Howe made his NHL debut in 1946 for Detroit, and led the league in scoring every year from 1950 to 1954, and again in 1957 and 1963 - Howe set a new record for points scored in 1953 when he became the first player to reach 93 in a season.Howe retired in 1971 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame 12 months later but, in his mid 40s, he decided to make a comeback for the World Hockey Associations (WHA) Houston Aeros, a team who had also signed his sons Mark and Marty.He led the Aeros to successive championships and, when the WHA folded he had one more season in the NHL with the re-named Hartford Whalers, scoring 15 goals at the age of 52. Howes achievements are already commemorated by a statue inside the Joe Louis Arena The NHL named him as the inaugural recipient of the leagues Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 and his legacy remains, with players who score a goal, an assist and are involved in a fight in the same game being said to have achieved a Gordie Howe hat-trick.By the time of his second retirement, in a record 1,767 games, Howe had scored 801 goals and added 1,049 assists along with a total of 1,685 penalty minutes.Howe had suffered with health problems for the last decade, being struck down by dementia, and fears for his life grew in 2014 when he suffered what was described as a major stroke.He is survived by three sons and a daughter - his wife Colleen died in 2009.

Daniels became the first female fourth official in Premiership Rugby history in September when Exeter beat Bristol at Ashton Gate, and she returns to the south-west this weekend.That will make her the first the first female assistant referee in top-level mens rugby, having already set a record for the most caps as a referee in womens Test matches. The former Bath Chronicle sports writer has now been a match official development officer for the RFU for six years, but Daniels concedes she has exceeded even her wildest expectations on the pitch since then.Its of course a privilege to be involved, she said. I am very excited about it, but Ill just approach the game like I would any other fixture - even if it is another first for female officials - because ultimately that doesnt come into the make-up of the game. Jones: England must be ssmart Eddie Jones has compared Englands autumn opener against South Africa to the Rumble in the Jungle.dddddddddddd It will hopefully be a great occasion on the pitch, and hopefully there can be even more positive side-effects for female officials.Its wonderful that its another first for me; when you start off you just set yourself realistic goals and I remember going along to a local club game and thinking if I ever got good enough to be involved with a fixture at that level that I would be pleased.And now to be involved with a game like this is beyond what I ever dreamt of originally but you want to challenge yourself and be the best you can be.Like a player, youve got to put in the graft, training, and do your homework if youre going to be able to do a good job on the pitch and get these kinds of opportunities.
