The Detroit Red Wings are a professional ice hockey team based in Detroit, Michigan. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference and play their home games at Little Caesars Arena. Founded in 1926, the Red Wings are one of the NHL’s “Original Six” teams, alongside the Bruins, Blackhawks, Canadiens, Maple Leafs, and Rangers. Throughout their storied history, Detroit has built a reputation as one of hockey’s most successful franchises, winning 11 Stanley Cup championships—third most in league history. Their passionate fan base and iconic “Hockeytown” nickname reflect decades of excellence and tradition.
In recent years, the Red Wings have faced struggles, missing the playoffs every season since 2016 as they rebuild their roster. Despite the drought, optimism surrounds the team’s future, fueled by the emergence of young stars and leaders like Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, and Lucas Raymond. General Manager Steve Yzerman, a franchise legend, has been carefully shaping a talented prospect pool through smart drafting and player development. With this mix of youth, leadership, and renewed competitiveness, Detroit appears poised to restore its winning culture and return to Stanley Cup contention in the near future.
