<td class="bodytext" align="left" valign="top">One of the Original Six teams of the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings have inspired decades of red, white and octopi inspired revelry. The team was formed in the 1920’s in a movement spearheaded by local investor Charles Hughes. The Red Wings went on to dominant the NHL for seventy years and counting. Great players like Gordie Howe, Terry Sawchuck and Stevev Yzerman have helped contribute to ten Stanley Cups.<BR>
Not every thing has always been rose for “Hockey Town’s” beloved team. The Red Wings have survived the Depression, downsizing and the label Detroit “Dead Things”.<BR>
And the fabled Octopus?<BR>
It all began on April 15, 1952, when the Cusimano brothers threw an Octopus on the Ice at Olympia Stadium for good luck. Each of the eight tentacles was said to represent the eight wins then needed to win the Stanley Cup. It worked, entrenching the cephalopod in Detroit history; it was a 50-pounder in 1996!<BR>
