New bridge gets a name

Read the blog post about the Gordie Howe International Bridge

Mr. Hockey led Detroit to four Stanley Cup championships, seven consecutive first-place finishes, and now, the Gordie Howe International Bridge will lead Detroit to Canada. 
Yesterday in Canada, Governor Snyder and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined members of the Howe family to unveil the official name of the soon-to-be built bridge linking Detroit and Windsor. 
“Gordie Howe is a symbol of unparalleled success, longevity, civic generosity and international harmony, virtues we are confident the bridge will symbolize," Governor Snyder said. "‘Mr. Hockey’ is a universally respected ambassador for both Canada and Michigan."
