Hockey fans, don’t miss this special event at Great Lakes Center for the Arts!
Join us on Sunday, April 13 for an afternoon celebrating hockey history with journalist and author Keith Gave. The event features an exclusive screening of The Russian Five at 1:00 PM, followed by a 3:00 PM conversation with Keith Gave, the journalist who helped bring the legendary Russian Five to Detroit.
Keith Gave is the author of three books, which cap an eclectic career that included lengthy stints as a soldier, spy, newspaperman, radio host, TV analyst, publicist, college professor, and filmmaker—all before he set out to write books.
Gave spent six years in the United States Army as a Russian linguist working for the National Security Agency during the Cold War, including three years in West Berlin when it was surrounded by a wall. Nothing could have better prepared him for a career as a sports writer covering hockey for the Detroit Free Press. That’s when he experienced the cloak-and-dagger assignment of his career; on a covert mission to Helsinki, Finland, he passed along messages to two young Soviet hockey players who would eventually lead the Detroit Red Wings to the Stanley Cup summit for the first time in 42 years.
