Gordie Howe's family says the hockey legend is showing some signs of improvement after suffering a significant stroke last weekend.
The family issued a statement today through the Detroit Red Wings.
The statement says that Howe's condition remains guarded and while there is a long road to recovery ahead, his spirits are good and his competitive attitude remain strong.
The family also wants to thanks friends, family members and fans for well-wishes, prayers and support.
The 86-year-old Howe is resting at his daughter's home in Lubbock, Texas, and is with other family members who travelled to be with him.
The man known as "Mr. Hockey" played 26 NHL seasons and set league marks with 801 goals and 1,850 points — mostly with the Red Wings — that held up until Wayne Gretzky surpassed him in the record book.
