Since their inception almost 90 years ago in 1926, the Detroit Red Wings have set many historical benchmarks in the NHL. The Red Wings have not only set many historical firsts on the ice, but also off the ice as well.
In the past, the world of professional sports has mainly been associated as an industry driven, operated and played by men. But there have been many powerful and influential women who have contributed their fair share to the sporting world. One such woman is Detroit’s Marguerite Norris.
Marguerite comes from the famous Norris family who were pivotal to the success and growth of the NHL during the Original Six era.
