Howe first tried out for the New York Rangers at the age of 15 but didn't get a deal. The next year, the Detroit Red Wings signed the then 17-year-old to a contract. In 1946, he made is debut in Detroit and scored his first goal in his very first game. The legend was born. He would be with the Wings until 1971.
