New York Rangers legend Harry Howell has died at age 86. He was a member of the Rangers for 17 seasons and he appeared in 1,160 games tallying 345 points. Howell made his NHL debut at age 19 on October 18, 1952, and scored a goal in his very first game.
He was primarily a defensive defenseman, but he did eclipse 30 points three times, including a 40-point campaign when he won the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defender during the 1966-67 season at age 34. At the time of winning the award, Howell became the fourth oldest player to win the trophy.
