left winger
who played 17 seasons in the National Hockey League
for the Ottawa Senators
, Philadelphia Quakers
, Toronto Maple Leafs
, St. Louis Eagles
and Detroit Red Wings
.
where he would enjoy his greatest personal and team successes. One of the leading scorers of his era, Syd Howe was a part of three Stanley Cup
championships with the Red Wings.
Syd Howe often skated on Patterson's Creek and the Rideau Canal
with his brother Lawrence 'Pete' Howe while growing up in his hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. He played hockey with the Glebe Collegiate
high school team and the Lansdowne Park Juveniles in 1926 before joining the Ottawa Gunners junior team in the newly-formed Ottawa City Hockey League
. He and his Gunners teammates became the first Ottawa club to reach the Memorial Cup
finals when they took on the Regina Monarchs in 1928, losing the best-of-three final by two games to one. Howe was a top scorer during the playdowns, registering nine goals and 13 points in eight games.
He joined the NHL with his hometown Ottawa Senators
for the last 12 games of the 1929–30 NHL season and was loaned to the Philadelphia Quakers
for the 1930–31 season, the Quakers' only year of existence. When Ottawa suspended operations for the 1931–32 season, Howe was picked up by the Toronto Maple Leafs
in the dispersal draft
, but he appeared in just three NHL games, spending most of his time on the farm with the Syracuse Stars
of the International Hockey League. He was back with the Senators the following year and moved with the club to St. Louis
, as a member of the St. Louis Eagles
, in the 1934–35 NHL season. The Eagles sold Howe in February 1935 to the Detroit Red Wings
, where his career could finally get on track.
Howe was on the ice in the Montreal Forum
at 2:25 a.m. on March 25, 1936, when Mud Bruneteau
scored in the sixth overtime period to give Detroit the win in game one of the best-of-five semi-final against the Maroons
, the longest game in league history. Detroit went on to win the series and the Stanley Cup
that spring and followed up with another Cup victory in 1937.
On March 19, 1940, Howe scored 25 seconds into overtime to give the Wings a 2–1 victory over the New York Americans
in game one of the quarter-finals. It was Howe's most cherished moment of his career and would stand as the fastest overtime goal scored in NHL history for the next 29 years. He also set the modern-day NHL record by scoring six goals in a game on February 3, 1944, versus the New York Rangers
, a record which has since been twice equaled but never bettered in over fifty years of play. He was named to the NHL Second Team All-Star squad as a left winger
in 1945 and played in the 1939 benefit All-Star game for Babe Siebert
.
In his NHL career, he scored 237 goals and 291 assists for 528 points
in 691 games. In the playoffs, he totaled 17 goals and 27 assists for 44 points in 70 games. He won the Stanley Cup
with Detroit in 1936, 1937 and 1943. In 1934–35, he was runner-up to Charlie Conacher
for the scoring title with 47 points in 50 games despite playing much of the season with the last-place St. Louis Eagles
. In 1943–44, he racked up 32 goals and 60 points in just 46 games, however, league-wide scoring was inflated due to World War II
. In a February 3, 1944 game against the New York Rangers
, Howe scored six goals in a single game, a total that has been surpassed only once when Joe Malone scored seven.
Howe was an all-around player, shifting between left wing and centre as needed, killing penalties and dropping back to play defence in a pinch. Those who watched the team closely reported that Howe's ice time with Detroit would constitute an amazing total.
Upon playing his last NHL game in 1946, Howe was the last active player who played for the Philadelphia Quakers
and the original era of the Ottawa Senators. He would return to Ottawa, and play again for the Ottawa Senators
, now in the Quebec Senior Hockey League
.
Although not related, right wing Gordie Howe
joined the Red Wings the following season (1946–47) and remained with the club until 1971 thus giving the Wings a star forward named Howe on its roster for 37 consecutive seasons (1934–71). Syd Howe was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame
in 1965, and died twelve years later on May 20, 1976, of throat cancer at age 64. He was interred in the Capital Memorial Gardens in Ottawa.
