I was looking through an archive of Detroit News videos from the 1920s and I came across a really cool video of one of the first practices for Detroit, who were then known as the Cougars. The practice takes place at Border Cities Arena in Windsor, where the Cougars played while the Olympia Stadium was under construction in Detroit.

Here is Border Cities Arena, now known as Windsor Arena, in 2008. It is now home to the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL.
The jerseys shown towards the end of the video are the ones that the Red Wings based their Winter Classic jerseys on.
