The passing of Rangers great Harry Howell has been felt across the hockey community, by both his former teammates and others involved in the game he loved.
“Harry was a first-class individual, as was his whole family,” former Rangers forward Vic Hadfield, Howell’s teammate for eight seasons, said on Sunday. “We were very, very close, the two families. Harry was a very humble guy, the nicest guy, someone who would give you the shirt off his back. Just a wonderful individual.
“When we first went to New York, he took us in and made sure we all had places to live and were able to get to the games.
