Red Wings relocate training camp from Traverse City to Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings announced they will not hold their training camp in Traverse City this year, ending a nearly three-decade tradition. General Manager Steve Yzerman explained that due to a shortened training camp from September 17-20 and a reduced preseason schedule, the team will convene at Little Caesars Arena instead. The rookie tournament will also move to Detroit, featuring rookie teams from the Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, and Pittsburgh Penguins from September 12-15. Yzerman indicated that this change is intended to streamline operations, but he did not rule out a future return to Traverse City.
