For nearly a century, the Detroit Red Wings have stood as a pillar of excellence, resilience, and tradition in the National Hockey League. From the early days of the Cougars and Falcons, through the dynasties of Gordie Howe and Steve Yzerman, to the patient rebuild of the Yzerplan era, Winged Glory tells the full story of Hockeytown's most beloved team. In rich narrative detail, this book chronicles every major era of Red Wings history - the early triumphs, the "Dead Wings" years, the Cup runs of the modern age, and the emotional moments that defined a city. Through triumph and tragedy, through icons like Lidström, Sawchuk, and Datsyuk, and into the next generation with Larkin, Seider, and Raymond, the Winged Wheel never stopped rolling. With deep reverence and compelling storytelling, Winged Glory is not just a team history - it's a tribute to the fans, the culture, and the enduring soul of Detroit hockey.
