Detroit — The wait is finally over for Red Wings fans. They’ll get their first opportunity to watch live some of the organization’s best prospects —  and to get to see the first real hockey of the upcoming season — this weekend at the 23rd annual NHL Prospects Tournament at Traverse City’s Centre Ice Arena.

Detroit — Few Red Wings prospects appreciated this summer’s Red Wings development camp like Cross Hanas did. Because of the pandemic, the Wings canceled the camp the past two years. So, Hanas, a 2020 second-round draft pick, actually met many of his fellow prospects in the Wings’ organizations for the first time during July’s camp. It was

Detroit — Once learning of the Red Wings’ interest in him, signing with the Wings was an easy decision for new defenseman Ben Chiarot. This wasn’t a case of returning home, but close to home.

There was a time when Carter Mazur and Redmond Savage hated each other. But that was before Mazur, a Jackson native, and Savage, who was born in Arizona but moved to Michigan when he was in the eighth grade, were both selected as middle-round draft picks by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2021 NHL

Detroit — Eemil Viro, the Red Wings’ young defensive prospect, remembers when he moved into Finland’s top division, playing against the country’s best and oldest players. Viro was only 17 at the time, playing against mostly men in the Finnish Elite League (or Liiga), and challenged physically. Although that wasn’t new for Viro. The 6-foot 165-pound Viro,

Detroit Red Wings prospect Jan Bednar made 28 saves for Czechia in a 4-3 shootout loss against Finland (2-0) at the world junior hockey championships on Thursday afternoon at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Bednar, a 6-foot-4, 200 pound goalie who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NHL Draft, has allowed three power-play

Top 2023 draft prospect Connor Bedard had a goal, an assist and eight shots on goal and Detroit Red Wings draft pick Sebastian Cossa made 22 saves for Canada in a 5-2 victory over Latvia on Wednesday night at the world junior championships in Edmonton. “We’ve been practising but nothing’s really game speed,” Cossa told

Detroit — The talk of the Red Wings being in a rebuild sort of struck David Perron kind of funny. Perron, who signed as a free agent with the Wings last month, was on the expansion Vegas Golden Knights team that reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2018. “I find it funny to hear the word ‘rebuild,’”
