DENVER -- The Detroit Red Wings have a fan in the NHL.
Their strong fan base has made them an outdoors game darling. They spent this weekend at Coors Field, participating in an alumni game with the Colorado Avalanche on Friday, followed by tonight's game between the NHL clubs. That game comes a little more than two years after the Wings hosted the Maple Leafs in the 2014 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium, drawing more than 105,000 fans.
There are rumors that next season, the Wings will play an outdoors game in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.
