Husky Bites: Houghton, Michigan Tech, and the Stanley Cup

Husky Bites: Houghton, Michigan Tech, and the Stanley Cup

Grab a bite with Bill Sproule, hockey historian and Michigan Tech civil and environmental engineering professor emeritus, along with Michigan Tech alumnus John Scott, NHL All-Star MVP.

Sproule's research into hockey history began about 15 years ago when he first volunteered to teach a class on the subject at Michigan Tech. During Husky Bites he plans to share the history of the Stanley Cup and tell how a Canadian-born dentist, Doc Gibson, and his "partner in crime" Houghton entrepreneur James Dee made Houghton the birthplace of professional hockey, several years before the National Hockey League came into existence. He'll also discuss the role Gibson and Dee played in Michigan Tech hockey.
