The movement to have Gordie Howe grace the cover of EA Sports' NHL 17 is picking up steam.

There are over 5,000 signatures on the official petition to have "Mr. Hockey" appear on the popular video game cover.

There's similar lobbying to have Detroit Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch reconsider the naming rights for Little Caesers Arena, having the team's future home bear Howe's name.
