The Birthplace of Professional Hockey (Houghton, MI)
#OnThisDay in 2021
@curmudgeonaf I don't have a dog in this fight, but my understanding is that while some other teams in Pittsburg were paying players, that the first pro hockey league was indeed in Houghton. That seems like the birth of "pro hockey" as opposed to simply some teams that were "cheating" prior to that. Either way, it was fun to visit.
