DETROIT — Hockey great Gordie Howe has lost some function on the right side of his body after having a stroke Sunday in Texas.
Howe’s daughter Cathy says the 86-year-old Detroit Red Wings legend has lost much use of his right arm and right leg. Howe suffered the stroke in Lubbock, Texas, where his daughter lives.
Howe’s daughter said Tuesday night his speech is slurred, but he’s been looking at family pictures and pictures from his playing days, and he’s able to recognize and identify people he played with. She said his three sons were on the way there to see him.
