On this day:
In 1963, Gordie Howe became the NHL’s all-time leader in goals when he scored for the 545th time. The record breaker came against Montreal, and he passed the Canadiens’ Maurice Richard in the process. Howe ended up scoring 801 goals, a record which stood until Wayne Gretzky reached number 802 in 1994.

In 1969, popular children’s series Sesame Street made its television debut.

Today’s weather:
A mix of sun and cloud is expected on Thursday, November 10, as is a high of four degrees Celsius during the day, dropping to two degrees at night, when the forecast calls for periods of rain. For the full 12-hour and seven-day qathet region weather forecast, go to our weather page.
