For decades, Detroit has proudly worn the title of “Hockeytown.” But long before the Winged Wheel owned the ice, the good ol’ hockey game was already alive and thriving here—played in rinks and on frozen ponds by everyday Detroiters building the sport from the ground up. Now, as the Red Wings mark their 100th anniversary, this first-of-its-kind bus tour will take you deep into the hidden corners, legendary moments, and surprising stories of Detroit’s hockey legacy.We’ll trace the earliest recorded games played in the city, stand where arenas once shook with roaring crowds at both the “Old Red Barn” and “The Joe,” and uncover the personalities, rivalries, and quirks that shaped hockey in the Motor City. You’ll hear tales of the mystery of jersey number six, the ice-cold war between Little Caesars and Compuware, and how Detroit’s first hockey victory may have belonged not to a hockey team at all—but to a curling club.
Along the way you’ll unravel the origins of the “Red Wing,” learn how octopi wound up flying through the air, and discover why Detroit’s hockey roots run even deeper than a century.
Whether you’re a casual fan or a die-hard who bleeds red and white, this tour is a spirited, fun, and surprising dive into the sport that helped shape Detroit’s identity—on and off the ice.
This is a family friendly version of our hockey tour! There is not a bar stop on this tour but each guest will receive a Detroit Snack Bag as part of their ticket. Guests 10 and above are welcome on this tour as long as they are accompanied by an adult.
Tickets are $59.00
