There’s a reason why they call it Hockey Town! The Detroit Red Wings have been kicking ass in the same place for the past 38 years. But with the end of this past season sadly came the end to Joe Louis Arena. After four Stanley Cup Championships and over 600 concerts and events, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn’t agree that this is the end of an era. But as the Wings get ready to start the 2017-2018 season in their new home at Little Caesar’s Arena (which needs more TVs, according to Matt Markham), you can still get a memento of days past!
The Detroit Red Wings announced via twitter that vials of melted ice that the Red Wings skated on during the “Farewell Season at The Joe” are being sold. Even though I’ll be the first to complain about the price of bottled water, these are considered a steal at $85 a pop! That even includes shipping of the holy water packaged in a 6-inch by 8-inch commemorative shadowbox. It’s framed along with a photo of the “Farewell to The Joe Ceremony” that happened after the final game at the arena back on April 9th.
Money raised from the sales will go to the Detroit Red Wings Foundation which provides funds and resources to worthy causes that contribute to the growth of the sport of hockey. So while it sucks that the legendary Joe Louis Arena is being demolished, at least some good is coming out of it. If you’re one of the many who have had fond times at 19 Steve Yzerman Dr in Detroit, you can help its memory live on! But you’ll want to act fast because only 3,000 of these vials are available, and since people can purchase up to ten at a time, you know it won’t be long before these things show up on eBay for 10x the asking price!
