Detroit Hockey Club No Par Value Stock Certificate Issued to Henry Ford, July 23, 1927
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford invested in the Detroit Hockey Club in 1927, a team transplanted from Victoria, Canada, and a new member of the National Hockey League. The team -- first called the Detroit Cougars, then Falcons -- went into receivership in the early 1930s, making the stock worthless. In 1932, James E. Norris bought the team and renamed them the Detroit Red Wings.
