Retired as the second leading all time NHL goal and point scorer, and third in assists.
Among the all-time NHL leaders in Goals scored (5th), Assists (20th), and total points (10th), as of the end of the 2007-08 season.
Won Lou Marsh Trophy as Canadian athlete of the year in 1972.
Still holds the record for shots on goal in a single season with 550 in 1971 (over a hundred more than the second highest total).
Had thirteen consecutive 30+ goal seasons, second most in history.
In 1998, he was ranked number 18 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players.
Inducted in 2007 (alongside brother Tony) into the Sault Ste Marie Walk of Fame

And besides all that, he was playing in the first NHL game I ever went to and he was wearing a turtleneck. It was the Flames and Rangers at the Corral, a hotly contested match which saw the Flames edge the Rangers by a converted touchdown and a field goal. 11-1 was the final. Ron Duguay took a slapshot that deflected over the glass and over the head of every person in the building and punched a hole in the Sprite sign near the ceiling.

I was wearing one of those cotton "hockey shirts" for little boys that looked like a jersey and had a rubbery/felt crest sewn on the front. Anyone else ever have one of those things? I had a few.
