I love the Detroit Red Wings!  They're one of the original six teams in the NHL.
Wow, only six to begin with. What year did the NHL form?
I'm not certain when the National Hockey League was formed, but the Detroit Redwings were founded in 1926, and were originally known as the Detroit Cougars.
Interesting. Have they always been based in Detroit?
Yup!  From 1930 to 1932 they were known as the Detroit Falcons.  Then they changed their names to the Redwings in 1932.
wonder what the name Redwings signifies, a specific bird?
I'm not certain where the name came from.
A lot of pro-sports teams are named after birds, so it would seem likely.
