Detroit Red Wings fans and Hockeytown legend Gordie Howe both got a treat on Monday.

Those who attended Monday's game against the Buffalo Sabres got to see Howe at Joe Louis Arena during a rare appearance following a lengthy recovery from a stroke he suffered in 2014.

Howe, on the other hand, received a unique gift from the organization, which was celebrating his 88th birthday.

It doesn't get much better than that. The packed house even sang Happy Birthday for their hometown hero.
