Every Red Wings fan remembers the names of this elite team. Yzerman, Shanahan, Fedorov, Kozlov, McCarty, Vernon, Osgood, and the list goes on. The 1996-1997 Detroit Red Wings were a force to be reckoned with. The nickname "Hockeytown" was solidified in Detroit because of this team.

Now through February 2023, Red Wings and Hockey fans alike can visit the "1997: Detroit Red Wings" exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum. The exhibit includes so many artifacts from that season such as player's hockey sticks, jerseys, seats from Joe Louis Arena, a complete timeline, and more.

This new exhibit will also feature highlights including information about "Fight Night at the Joe." Not a single Red Wings fan will ever forget what happened in one of hockey's most brutal rivalries between the Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche.

It was a night that went down in infamy. Vernon vs. Roy. McCarty vs. Lemieux. It was incredible. I will never forget those few seasons of Red Wings hockey.

The Detroit Historical Museum is open Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 am until 5 pm and Sundays from 1 pm to 5 pm. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $6 for children. The Detroit Historical Museum is located at 5401 Woodware Avenue in Detroit.
