In November 2025, a special exhibition celebrating the Centennial of the Detroit Red Wings, one of the NHL’s most storied franchises, will open at the Detroit Historical Museum. The season-long exhibition will honor the franchise’s illustrious history and Stanley Cup championship legacy, offering fans the chance to relive unforgettable stories, celebrations, and moments that shaped Detroit’s team. 

As part of this celebration, the Detroit Historical Society is seeking community contributions to help tell the story of Red Wings fandom through the decades. We are especially looking for:

• Photos of fans attending games at Olympia Stadium or Joe Louis Arena
• Red Wings memorabilia from before 1980, including programs, tickets, jerseys, pennants, scrapbooks, or fan club materials

Have something to share? Please tell us about it!

We are grateful for every submission; however, selections for display will be made at the discretion of the curatorial team, and only a portion of materials will be chosen for inclusion in the Centennial exhibition. We will be accepting submissions until October 1, 2025.
