Olympia Stadium — Historic Detroit
Olympia Stadium

By Charles Avison for HistoricDetroit.org

To the legions of Detroiters who passed through the turnstiles of the iconic Olympia Stadium, its name alone conjures memories of legendary entertainment that spanned more than six decades.
From hockey to basketball, boxing to circuses, The King to presidents, wrestling to rodeos and The Beatles to political conventions, the “Old Red Barn” hosted an incredible variety of events. While the venue is forever linked to professional hockey in Detroit, the Olympia also played a key role in turning the city into an entertainment destination that rivaled any in the world.
Roaring ’20s, roaring crowds

In the 1920s, Detroit was experiencing a financial boom thanks to the success of the automobile industry. Henry Ford’s introduction in 1922 of the $5 workday and the ensuing 40-hour workweek gave Detroiters not only more disposable income, but also more time for leisure. Detroiters were quick to embrace the rapidly growing phenomena of American professional sports. In 1923, Navin Field (later known as Tiger Stadium) saw the completion of an addition that expanded its capacity from 23,000 seats to 30,000. In 1925, the Detroit Panthers started playing football in the city. And on May 15, 1926, the Victoria (B.C.) Cougars hockey team was purchased by a group of Detroit businessmen -- led by Detroit Athletic Club President Charlie Hughes -- and renamed the Detroit Cougars. This team would go on to become the Detroit Red Wings.
Though the Cougars were based in Detroit, the team had a significant problem: It had nowhere to play. As such, the team’s inaugural season of 1926-1927 was played in Windsor. Meanwhile, on March 8, 1927, the cornerstone for a new hockey palace was laid at the corner of Grand River Avenue and McGraw Street.

Datsyuk was trying to pass it to himself. I try that in ball hockey all the time. But I bank it off the glass behind the net... better juice on the ball. Never worked yet. But I almost got lucky and banked it off the goalie that way.

Posted this on the nostalgia thread in History of Hockey, and then thought some people here might remember. To be clear, I do not own this shirt, but I did find this pic online doing some searching.

This 4 page feature about Ted Lindsay and Gordie Howe appeared in the Detroit Free Press on January 14, 1951. The bond developed between this dynamic duo was established very early in their careers which paved the way to their Hall of Fame careers.

On the other hand, seat covers for cars were a big thing...and very affordable, too!

Being born on Christmas, it has never been about how much is spent. It is always the thought that counts. 20 years ago today Sergei Fedorov scored all 5 goals in a 5-4 OT victory against the Washington Capitals. Not knowing he would score 5, after his hat trick Sergei gave me this puck as a birthday present. It is still among my most prized possessions.-John Wharton
