I've been a fan of theirs since I was little, my grandpa took me to see them play at the Joe Louis Arena and it was life-changing! This museum exhibit sounds so cool, I need to check it out ASAP. I'm all about the retro jerseys and vintage game footage - it's gonna be a blast from the past! 
And can we talk about Asia Gholston, she's literally a legend in her own right 
. I'll definitely be adding this to my bucket list, anyone else going?!
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see some of those old jerseys and equipment up close? It's like stepping into hockey heaven. And featuring other teams from Detroit's past is a great touch - it shows that the city has been passionate about hockey for so long. But what really gets me excited is how they're including stories and memories from fans like Asia Gholston, who's basically a Red Wings superfan 
. November 20th can't come soon enough!
️ I'm thinking it's cool how they're bringing all that history together in one place... a whole three galleries worth of stories and artifacts. It'll be awesome to see old jerseys, sticks, and even audio clips from big games. Plus, getting to see the early teams like Falcons and Cougars will give you an idea of how hockey came to be in Detroit. The fact that it's been going on for so long is crazy... 100 years is a lot! They must've had some amazing players and moments over the years. It'll definitely be a nostalgic trip for any Red Wings fan 
Growing up watching them play at Joe Louis Arena (now it's called Little Caesars Arena), I never imagined they'd reach this milestone. The way they celebrate with this museum exhibit is so cool, all these old jerseys and photos... my grandma used to tell me stories about the Wings when she was a kid in the '50s. It's awesome that it's not just about one team, but also showcasing the other teams from Detroit's hockey history. I'm definitely gonna check out this exhibit on opening day 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned hockey game? The fact that it's celebrating 100 years of the Red Wings is pretty cool too - can you imagine all the legendary players and games they've had over the years? I'd love to see some of those uniforms on display, especially the old ones with the distinctive wings logo 
. And yeah, I guess it's nice that they're including other teams from Detroit's history too... but let's be real, who needs anyone else when you have the Wings, right?
