Last Friday during 2012 NHL All-Star Weekend in Ottawa, Panini America made major headlines by announcing that it had reached a multi-year trading card agreement with NHL legend Gordie Howe, making it official by presenting Mr. Hockey with a special Detroit Red Wings-inspired Panini hockey jersey inside a packed Panini America booth.

With the formalities out of the way and Howe donning his new colors, some 200 hockey fans received the thrill of a lifetime by receiving a brief meeting with and an autograph from the incomparable Howe, compliments of Panini America. In case you missed it, this telling video should provide ample highlights.
Comes over as a really nice guy. Glad to see him still enjoying interactions with the fans.
Ready to collect some Gordie Howe Panini! (Old Time Hockey)
Wow! This led me to Youtube this morning when this was first posted and not here. Glad I get to leave a comment about the “elbow man”
Great to see interraction between fans and a great such as Gordie. Nice auto pick up for the fans who got to get one.
One word: EPIC!
