DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings today announced fan details for Sergei Fedorov Jersey Retirement Night, presented by Meijer, on Monday, Jan. 12 when the Red Wings host the Carolina Hurricanes at Little Caesars Arena.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in franchise history, Fedorov won three Stanley Cup championships during his 13 seasons in Detroit and ranks among the Red Wings’ top seven all-time leaders in goals, assists and points. He will become the ninth player in franchise history to have his jersey retired.
The celebration will feature several NHL legends in attendance, special concourse activations, in-arena tributes and multiple fan engagement opportunities honoring one of the most iconic players to ever wear the Winged Wheel.
An exclusive tribute book called “Ninety One: A Salute to Sergei Fedorov” will be available for purchase during the event, with presale access beginning Jan. 1 only at ShopHockeytown.com. The book was written by longtime Red Wings columnist Bob Duff and details Fedorov’s defection from Russia to join the Red Wings, his iconic skill and style and his lasting impact on Hockeytown and the NHL.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sergei Fedorov back to Detroit as his No. 91 jersey takes its rightful place in the rafters at Little Caesars Arena,” said Ilitch Sports + Entertainment President & CEO Ryan Gustafson. “Sergei is one of the most iconic players of all time, and our passionate fans will have numerous opportunities on Jan. 12 to celebrate his incredible career as he joins the other eight legends who have worn the Winged Wheel to have their numbers retired.”
Little Caesars Arena doors will open at 4:20 p.m., more than an hour earlier than usual, with puck drop set for 7:15 p.m. Fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 5:35 p.m. to experience the full jersey retirement ceremony.
