An extensive collection of memorabilia from the legendary Howe family, including game-used gear, awards, and personal items from Gordie Howe and his sons, is currently available for auction, with net proceeds designated for charity. This online auction presents a unique opportunity for hockey enthusiasts and collectors to own a piece of history, featuring 524 lots curated by Frozen Pond to support the Howe Foundation.

Highlighted items include Gordie Howe’s jersey from the 1976-77 season with the WHA’s Houston Aeros, alongside jerseys worn by his sons, Mark and Marty, during their tenure with the Aeros, capturing the Avco Cups in 1974 and 1975. Collectors can also find Howe’s 1971 All-Star Game watch, a 1953 All-Star Game gold charm, Jubilee Medals from Queen Elizabeth, and an array of plaques, certificates, trophies, and awards that chronicle his illustrious career.

Adding to the auction's allure are personalized letters from notable figures such as Brian Mulroney, Gerald Ford, and Richard Nixon, a baseball from Ted Williams, and autographs from sports legends like Muhammad Ali and Arnold Palmer. A miniature Stanley Cup gifted by Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch in 2008 commemorates Howe's four Stanley Cup victories with the team between 1950 and 1955.

Personal artifacts on offer include a cowboy hat, fishing rods, golf shoes, and even a Playboy Mansion cigar box, alongside original hockey card artwork. Fans can also bid on items signed by Howe himself, ranging from gloves and skates to jerseys and bobbleheads, as well as memorabilia from his sons, including championship rings and game-used items.

The auction is further enriched by items signed by other hockey greats such as Wayne Gretzky, Connor McDavid, and Sidney Crosby, making it a comprehensive collection of hockey history.
