Announcing the 75th Anniversary of the Red Wing For’em Club.
April 2024 marks the 75th birthday of our Red Wing For’em Club. Seventy-Five years of promoting the game of hockey, cheering for our players, the coaches and of course our team, the Detroit Red Wings. Seventy-Five years of fun, laughter, tears when we lose and cheers when we win.
Our club has come a long way since 1949. That’s when a few hockey fans and friends got together and decided to form a fan club and cheer on the Detroit Red Wings. A time when they could gather and talk hockey, maybe complain about the refs and cheer on their favorite player. Not much has changed over the past 75 years. We still get together and do the same thing as they did. Talk Red Wing hockey, promote the game to family and friends and still complain about the refs.
Our founding officers probably never knew we would last 75 years. They worked hard to strengthen and grow our club membership. They gave us a Constitution and By-Laws that guide us still today. Over the many years every person that became an officer of the club has worked tirelessly, donating their time to ensure the For’em Club will be here for another 75 years and beyond.
