Many people do not realize this, but professional hockey began in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula Copper Country and spread throughout North America, laying down the roots for other leagues that followed, including today’s National Hockey League.
As part of the celebrations, the Michigan Tech Huskies alumni took on the Detroit Red Wings alumni team and the Stanley Cup was on display in Houghton. Gordie Howe, Randy McKay and Dennis Hextall were among the hockey alumni who were present.
Here’s a link to the birthplace of organized professional hockey. Congratulations to the Copper Country on this great event!
