Original Toronto Star caption: It's Gordie Howe day in Toronto. Today: officially proclaimed Gordie Howe Day in Toronto: is the 43rd birthday of Detroit's perennial NHL hockey star: so last night when he attended Forest Hill Lions' Club father-son-daughter banquet he was presented with a giant birthday cake. As his wife watched: he got help blowing out candle. Wax candle on cake was curled to represent Howe's number - 9. Tonight he plays his 1:839th NHL game.
