DETROIT – Anyone who’s ever laced up a pair of hockey skates in Metro Detroit has fantasized about donning a Winged Wheel sweater and playing at Joe Louis Arena as a member of the Red Wings.
Over the weekend, 34 people from all over the country got that chance during the fourth annual Detroit Red Wings Fantasy Camp at The Joe.
Campers from as far away as California and Utah joined local skaters ranging from age 22 to 65 to mix it up with Red Wings alumni Larry Murphy, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty, Dallas Drake, Mathieu Dandenault and Kris Draper for the annual three-day camp at the historic Detroit arena.
