Soon after Yzerman’s retirement ceremony on January 2nd, I read that the Wings and FSN were planning on making a retirement ceremony DVD. Unfortunately, it sounds like those plans have fallen apart and we likely will not see a DVD in the future. I find this frustrating since we all know how well that DVD would do, particularly here in Michigan.

Tom Grassano, Bronx, N.Y.: I am very confused as to why the Detroit Red Wings organization has not honored Steve Yzerman with a DVD commemorating his career.

Living in NYC when Messier retired, the DVD was presented for pre-order during his retirement ceremony and available a few weeks after. I am still ready to buy one for Yzerman, as I’m sure thousands of people are. What’s the problem?

Helene St. James, Free Press sports writer: I asked John Hahn, the team’s senior director of communications, about an Yzerman retirement ceremony dvd. Here is his reply: “It’s not something the Red Wings could have done on their own. We would have had to partner with the league and Warner Home Videos through their contracts. At the end of the day, we didn’t do it.”
