It doesn't come as a surprise to former American Hockey League commissioner Dave Andrews that the Detroit Red Wings have won the most combined National Hockey League and AHL championships since owner Mike Ilitch purchased the team in 1982.
Andrews, 71, retired in July after 26 years as commissioner and another seven years as general manager of the Edmonton Oilers' top farm team in the AHL.
During that time and heading into the 2020-21 season opener on Dec. 4 when the league is tentatively scheduled to resume play during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Red Wings have won nine titles with five Calder Cup and four Stanley Cups, three more than the Oilers with five Cups and one AHL title under Andrews in 1992.
