The 2025-26 season has added significance, with Red Wings Centennial celebrating 100 years of Hockeytown dating back to the team’s founding in 1926. As part of Red Wings Centennial, presented by Meijer, the organization will host a series of events and alumni appearances, produce original exclusive content, unveil a commemorative jersey design and lead community initiatives to honor a century of excellence on and off the ice.

Throughout the upcoming season, the team’s rich history will be celebrated through five distinct Eras. This begins with Origins Era (October), Dynasty Era (November), Iconic Moments from Olympia Stadium and Joe Louis Arena (December), Dominance Era (January) and Next Flight Era (March and April). Each Era will have a specific night of celebration at Little Caesars Arena featuring legendary teams, players and moments.

Hockeytown Centennial FanFest is a four-day immersive experience taking place from November 6-9, 2025, at MotorCity Casino Hotel, while 100 Years of Hockeytown: A Night at the Fox Theatre, a unique multimedia celebration bringing Red Wings history to life through music, video and live storytelling, will be held on Saturday, November 8 at Detroit’s iconic Fox Theatre.
