Game summaries The Wings became the first U.S.-based team to win the Stanley Cup two years in a row, and the third NHL team (after the 1920-21 Ottawa Senators and 1930-31 Montreal Canadiens) to repeat since the league's founding in 1917.

Norris Sr. (President/Owner), James D. Norris Jr. (Vice President/Owner) Arthur Wirtz Sr. (Secretary-Treasurer/Owner), Frank "Honey" Walker (Trainer), Jack Adams (Manager-Coach) Initially, the engraving for 1936 and 1937 included each member's position and playoff scores. Hec Kilrea's position was listed as 'General Utility' instead of 'Left Wing'. No other time has a player's position ever been included on the Stanley Cup. When the Cup was redone during the 1957–58 season, all player positions and playoff scores for both years were left off the cup. * Two players, Pete Kelly and Howard Mackie, were included on the original ring in 1937. Their names are not on the newer ring, now retired to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Carl Mattson (Ass't Trainer) was not included on the Cup in 1936 or 1937. There is more than enough room for all three members to have been engraved on the ring. Ebbie Goodfellow served as Captain, because Doug Young missed most of the season with an injury. Jimmy Orlando played 9 regular-season games for Detroit. He also played 37 regular-season games and 5 playoff games in the minors for Pittsburgh. Detroit still included his name on the Stanley Cup even though he did not qualify.
