Gordie Howe's "Miracle" Recovery!

12/20/2014

Gordie Howe “Mr. Hockey” Makes an Amazing Recovery
The following is a release from the Howe family, courtesy The Hockey News:

Gordie Howe “Mr. Hockey” Makes an Amazing Recovery

Following the press coverage of our father’s deteriorating medical condition, the Howe Family was contacted in late November by Dr. Maynard Howe, (CEO) and Dave McGuigan (VP) of Stemedica Cell Technologies. McGuigan knew our family as a result of his previous employment with the Detroit Red Wings. Stemedica is a biotechnology company that manufactures allogeneic adult stem cells in its US government licensed, cGMP facility in San Diego, California. Although no relation, Dr. Howe and his brothers Drs. David and Roger are hockey players and big Gordie Howe fans, having grown up in Minnesota. They wished to help our father by generously facilitating Dad’s participation in a stem cell clinical trial at Novastem, a licensed distributor of Stemedica’s products in Mexico.

Novastem is currently conducting federally licensed and Institutional Review Board approved clinical trials for several medical conditions, including stroke, using Stemedica’s stem cell products. At the time we were contacted, Mr. Hockey had been rapidly declining and was essentially bedridden with little ability to communicate or to eat on his own.

After reviewing the information on Stemedica and Novastem, our family decided to give our father this opportunity. On December 8th, Mr. Hockey underwent a two-day, non-surgical treatment at Novastem’s medical facility. The treatment included neural stem cells injected into the spinal canal on Day 1 and mesenchymal stem cells by intravenous infusion on Day 2. His response was truly miraculous. At the end of Day 1 he was walking with minimal effort for the first time since his stroke. By Day 2 he was conversing comfortably with family and staff at the clinic.

On the third day, he walked to his seat on the plane under his own power. By Day 5 he was walking unaided and taking part in helping out with daily household chores. When tested, his ability to name items has gone from less than 25% before the procedure to 85% today. His physical therapists have been astonished. Although his short term memory, strength, endurance and coordination have plenty of room for improvement, we are hopeful that he will continue to improve in the months to come.

As a family, we are thrilled that Dad’s quality of life has greatly improved, and his progress has exceeded our greatest expectations. Once again, we cannot emphasize how much you have fueled Mr. Hockey’s recovery and we thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.

Howe, 86, suffered what his family described as a “serious” stroke in late October, and another in early November. Recently, there have been reports of an uptick in health and, per various outlets, plans for Howe to make a public appearance in early February.

Boston.com Feature on the Whalers Booster Club

12/2/2014

Membership in the Hartford Whalers Booster Club, which peaked at over 1,000 in the 1980s, is down to 34, according to club president Joanne Cortesa. That there is still a booster club at all is somewhat miraculous. The Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, and Ottawa Senators--all viable NHL franchises--lack official booster clubs.

It’s been 17 years since “Brass Bonanza”, the iconic ditty the Hartford Whalers used as a theme song, echoed throughout the Civic Center. In 1997, the Whalers as we knew them ceased to exist, moving to North Carolina, where they were renamed the Hurricanes. Connecticut sports fans, used to playing second fiddle to fans of professional franchises in Boston and New York, were left without a pro team in the four major American sports leagues. Seattle basketball fans, Montreal baseball enthusiasts, and football lovers in Los Angeles know the feeling.

There’s a very small chance that the NHL will come back to Connecticut one day. Despite the odds, a Hartford-based group of Whalers diehards hasn’t given up hope, shooting for the return of an NHL team to a city that’s never been good at defining itself.

Membership in the Hartford Whalers Booster Club, which peaked at over 1,000 in the 1980s, is down to 34, according to club president Joanne Cortesa. That there is still a booster club at all is somewhat miraculous. The Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, and Ottawa Senators—all viable NHL franchises—lack official booster clubs.

The annual membership fee for the Hartford Whalers Booster Club is $10. The club holds monthly dinner meetings, hosts Whalers alumni appearances, and puts on trips where members travel together to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey to attend games as a group.

For lifelong Connecticut resident and booster club VP Joe Wysocki, 50, the pain that was inflicted when the Whalers moved still feels fresh.
