Detroit — The tour begins where the story begins, in the small office tucked around the corner from the ice, amid the clutter of the years. There are framed photos and fuzzy stuffed octopi, skates and jerseys and old wooden cabinets that lean from the weight.
To the side is a red cushioned chair, its simplicity belying its history. The chair is older than the building, older than the man in the office, and its only distinguishing feature is the old-school Red Wings logo.
