Join Jeremy Dimick, Detroit Historical Society Director of Collections & Curatorial, for a look at the first century of professional hockey in Detroit. In 1926, the Detroit Cougars played their first game in the National Hockey League. A century later, the team, now the Red Wings, stands as one of the most storied American hockey clubs, with 11 Stanley Cup championships, generations of legendary players, and a distinctly Detroit hockey culture. Explore the people, moments, and traditions that transformed Detroit into Hockeytown.
