The Detroit Red Wings shared these pictures from around the city to announce that they will retire the #91 jersey of all star & multiple Stanley Cup winner Sergei Federov on January 12, 2026. Federov remains the all time scoring & assist leader among Russian-born hockey players so I honestly thought they had already done this, but in any case – an honor richly deserved!

The photos are by Allison Farrand who is the lead photographer for Ilitch Sports (Detroit Tigers & Detroit Red Wings).

Mike Illitch, owner of Little Caesar’s Pizza, the Detroit Red Wings, and the Detroit Tigers has passed away. I could link to a lot of articles, but I think the tweets about Mike Illitch are the most powerful things I’ve seen. Here are some I like and please share your own comments.
