If you are like me, you are missing "our captain" Stevie Y. Pick up the recent biography about our very own Hockeytown Hero written just for you - the elementary student! You will be able to follow Stevie Y. from his early years (he started playing hockey at the age of 3) through the 2000 season. Last year Steve retired and became the Vice-President of the Detroit Red Wings.Stevie Y. was the captain of our Wings when they won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 42 years in 1997! They won again the following year and again in 2002! Steve was named captain of the Red Wings when he was only 21 years old, he was the youngest captain in the NHL (National Hockey League), 20 years later he was the longest serving captain in the NHL!
