Detroit Red Wings
 PROFILE
Watch out for flying octopi. Fans in Hockeytown (Detroit, in other words) often toss the eight-tentacled cephalopods onto the ice of Joe Louis Arena after their beloved Red Wings score a goal, a tradition started in the 1950s and signifying the eight wins needed at the time to win the Stanley Cup. Founded in 1926, the Detroit Red Wings have won nine Stanley Cups under the leadership of such hockey greats as Gordie Howe and current captain Steve Yzerman (the team's leader for more than a decade). The Red Wings are part of Ilitch Holdings, the holding company for the businesses of Mike and Marian Ilitch, who bought the team in 1982. Ilitch Holdings also owns the Detroit Tigers and pizza chain Little Caesar.
