We made the trek to Punxsy for the announcement:

MEET PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL

Wait, THE Punxsutawney Phil will be in attendance? BING!
The world's most famous weatherman along with a host of his tuxedoed and top-hatted handlers will be available for photos (and perhaps a weather tip or two) in the Red Wings Hall of Fame located on the first base concourse before the game.

SPECIALTY JERSEYS

The Wings will be wearing these one-of-kind jerseys that will be auctioned off with proceeds benefitting the Red Wings Community Foundation. We've partnered with LiveSource for all of our jersey auctions in 2018. Simply download the LiveSource app in the App Store or Google Play to bid! The auction will go live at 6:00 pm on June 29.
