Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Hockey Road Trip

Another awesome trip to Detroit is in the books! Elite Sports Tours headed down to the Motor City for an Original Six showdown on Friday between the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. 

It was an amazing group of passionate hockey fans enjoyed the bus ride down to Detroit with some movies, trivia, prize giveaways and a jersey raffle for an Auston Matthews jersey. We arrived to Detroit four hours before puck drop which allowed everyone to enjoy a pre-game meal and take in the sights and sounds of Motown.

Fans were in for a nice surprise before puck drop, as the Detroit Red Wings honoured legend Red Kelly by retiring his #4 jersey, becoming just the eighth number to hang in the rafters in Red Wings history.

It was an electric atmosphere at the LCA with close to half of the arena being filled with Maple Leafs fans. Danny Dekeyser found the back of the net 2:40 in overtime to secure the victory for the Detroit Red Wings.
