The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn is opening a new interactive traveling exhibit titled “HOCKEY: Faster Than Ever” between Oct. 13 and Jan. 5 in the Gallery by General Motors in the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.
It focuses on the science, history, and culture of ice hockey.
“HOCKEY: Faster Than Ever” is designed to take visitors on a journey through the evolution of ice hockey, showcasing the technical advancements and scientific breakthroughs that have shaped the sport over time. From cutting-edge technologies to the physics of play, the exhibition shows audiences the fusion of science and sport.
Produced by Flying Fish, a creator of traveling exhibitions, in collaboration with the Montréal Science Centre, and support from the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players Association, the exhibition promises to be a “must-see” for sports enthusiasts and science lovers.
The exhibition features Detroit Red Wings artifacts provided in partnership with the team, including jerseys and gear from star players, along with The Russian Five game-worn jerseys, actual boards from the Joe Louis Arena, and more.
In addition, the exhibit will display game-worn gear from Michiganders Kirsten Simms and Megan Keller of the U.S. Women’s National Team, including their jerseys from the 2024 International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championship, provided in partnership with USA Hockey.
“Partnering with the Montréal Science Centre allowed us to create a unique experience celebrating both sports and science,” says Jay Brown, principal and managing director of Flying Fish. “We intended to show how technology, physics, and innovation have transformed the game throughout history. We’re thrilled with the result, an exhibition that will fascinate sports enthusiasts and curious minds alike.”
