Hockey Detroit Red Wings Vintage Sports Programs

The Detroit Red Wings are one of the Original Six NHL programs when the league was established back in 1942, along with teams from Boston, Chicago, Montreal, New York, and Toronto. This sextet was all that existed of the league for 25 years before expansion doubled the size of the NHL. Red Wings programs and memorabilia are an historic reminder of the earliest days of the sport.

How far back do Red Wings hockey programs date?

The Detroit team was around close to 20 years before the Original Six era even began. Since the Detroit Red Wings franchise was around at the very start of the National Hockey League, though, it's possible to find programs of the Detroit team from the '50s or earlier, with cover jackets representing the action of the time in all its helmet-less glory.

Who are the top Detroit players represented on vintage programs?

Detroit's most well-known clubs—those that won Stanley Cup championships—are from those early years in the '50s. The Red Wings won the title in 1950, '52, '54, and '55. And the biggest star of stars from those days was winger Gordie Howe.

Even to this day, Howe is often considered one of the top players in the history of hockey. His nickname—Mr. Hockey—and "the Gordie Howe hat trick" say it all. Howe debuted in 1946 as an 18-year-old and spent a miraculous 25 years with the organization. He is the first player who comes to mind when someone mentions the Detroit Red Wings, and that legacy is captured in sports programs from a number of different eras.

Outside of the vintage teams of the '50s and Howe's generation, the next great batch of Red Wings squads to grace the sports programs was several decades later when the Red Wings reached the top of the NHL in the 1990s. Between 1995 and 2009, the Wings made six Stanley Cup finals, winning four championships.

Brendan Shanahan, Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom, and Sergei Fedorov gave way to Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, and Dominik Hasek. The stars from those rosters still resonate, and they can be found pictured on the covers of the programs, along with action shots and posed photos with the Stanley Cup. Inside these vintage hockey programs, you'll find information about the season, a schedule, score cards, statistics, player profiles, and other tidbits of Detroit Red Wings' history.
