Detroit – Chris Osgood, who won three Stanley Cups as a goalie for the Red Wings before retiring to broadcasting, is joining the ownership team of the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League.
Jim Devellano, the senior vice-president of the Red Wings, who managed the renaissance of the franchise beginning in the 1980s, became part of the ownership of the Spirit last week.
Osgood is 10th in career wins for a goalie, at 401 and he played 17 years in the NHL.
An ownership role is somewhat ironic for Osgood, who was not immediately available for comment.
