What is Detroit Red Wings? / Facts
- They are members of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL) and are one of the Original Six teams of the league
- Founded in 1926, the team was known as the Detroit Cougars from then until 1930
- For the 1930–31 and 1931–32 seasons the team was called the Detroit Falcons, and in 1932 changed their name to the Red Wings
- As of 2016, the Red Wings have won the most Stanley Cup championships (11) of any NHL franchise based in the United States, and are third overall in total NHL championships, behind the Montreal Canadiens (24) and Toronto Maple Leafs (13)
- The Wings have played their home games at Joe Louis Arena since 1979, after having spent over 40 years playing in Olympia Stadium, and are scheduled to move into Little Caesars Arena for the start of the 2017-18 season
- The Red Wings are one of the most popular franchises in the NHL, and fans and commentators refer to Detroit and its surrounding areas as "Hockeytown," which has been a registered trademark owned by the franchise since 1996
- Between the 1933–34 and 1965–66 seasons, the Red Wings missed the playoffs only four times
