Sure, the Red Army, er, Red Wings, have won their fair share of Stanley Cups, and Detroit has produced it s fair share of great hockey players.
Canton is more of a hockey town than Detroit.
Look at what kind of hockey history we have in this town. Some of the greatest players of all time have played in the barn down on the corner of Leigh and Miner Streets. This little town has seen the likes of the LaCroix brothers, Jamie Baker, Brian MacFarlane, Eric Heffler, and Steve Dryden develop their skills. All of them skated in the barrel-roofed building next to the Astroturf, the veritable chapel of college hockey, which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this January. No other school in the middle of nowhere has the hockey history that SLU does.
