Harry Howell

With the Grim Reaper seemingly giving up celebrities for Lent, the early 2019 deluge of deceased has slowed down somewhat in mid-March. Still, there’s still a few names around who’ve earned their spots in the DDP alumni list. Like Harry Howell, a Hall of Fame ice hockey star. Unfortunate to play at the same time as Bobby Orr (who won the Norris Trophy eight seasons running at the turn of the 70s), Howell was a legend of the game who still holds the record of most appearances ever made for the New York Rangers. He’d been sin-binned with dementia in recent years, which led to his death at 86.
