Wayne Gretzky. The names of the next four might also have been predicted, although the order in which they were ranked Bobby Orr, followed by Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux and Maurice Richard has caused heated argument. Without question, however, the names that make up the rest of the list, and the order in which they are ranked, could keep all true hockey fans engaged in debate for years. Each great player has his own fans eager to make the case for higher placement.

Even though there have been many great players who followed in Howe’s wake, many people still believe Gordie Howe to be the best player of all time. We can’t be sure if it is his peak years in Detroit that give people this view, perhaps his dominance in the league, or his longevity, maybe his statistics, but no matter which way you look at it, the evidence to back up this opinion is plentiful. At his peak he played with the Red Wings, this was from 46 to 71 with this team, and his achievements in these 25 game seasons is absolutely jaw-dropping to say the least. He was leading the league in goals five times over, as well as being a runner up the same amount of times, and as well as leading the NHL in scoring six times too! Howe won the Hart Trophy as the MVP 6 times, and was a finalist the same amount of times as well. Gretzky is the only other player who can contend with these stats having beaten them.
