At a prison in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn February 2, 1954, Detroit faced off against the Marquette Prison Pirates -- aka Emery's Boys -- named after the prison's warden. \u003ca data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rpSG4Wk8w6o\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rpSG4Wk8w6o\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rpSG4Wk8w6o\"\u003eThe story goes \u003c\/a\u003ethat Jack Adams and  Ted Lindsay visited the prison as a goodwill gesture, and were asked to come back later on and play a game there. It seemed unlikely at the time since the prison didn't have a rink. But some months later the prison's athletics director built a rink and invited the team back to play. And play they did. Hall of Famers like Gordie Howe, Lindsay, Terry Sawchuk, and Sid Abel took the ice against the inmates. The first period was a rout, with the prisoners losing 18-0. After that the teams actually mixed up players and didn't keep score. The game ended without incident and is a rather unbelievable part of hockey history. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis would make a unique gift for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehockey fan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e in your life or a neat find for yourself of a vintage hockey team from Michigan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFree standard shipping on all orders shipped to the USA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Questions about us or our products?
