Wings_Fan_in_L.A 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Does anyone know that why Detroit doesn't have Larry Aurie retired jersey number in Joe Louis Arena? I just read the website from here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Aurie>, but i still don't understand why his number isn't in Joe Louis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rice 42 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 The whole situation is pretty unclear. His number should be retired though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedFX 48 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Aurie must have ran over Ilitch's dog as a kid or something. ESPN Sports Almanac states "The Red Wings have not officially retired the jersey numbers of Larry Aurie (#6) and Vladimir Konstantinov (#16), but have kept them 'out of circulation'." I guess the only person that will ever know is Mike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
