Letter to Red Wings Fans

[higgyfan4]

Dear Red Wings Fans,
In our now 30 years of owning the Red Wings franchise, we have experienced many ups and downs. No situation is more frustrating, though, than working through the process of establishing a new collective bargaining agreement. We join the rest of our organization today in thanking fans of Hockeytown for your patience over the last few months.

We are sorry for the delay in starting the season and the unfortunate public nature of the negotiations. Thankfully, with this new deal, we will be assured of a settled labor environment for many years to come.

We recognize that no team excels like this one has without incredible fan support. And we understand the special bond that has been formed over the years: we do not take lightly our responsibility as owners.

Thank you for being a part of our team. We look forward to delivering another memorable season of Red Wings hockey.

Sincerely,

Marian & Mike Ilitch

'bout time they said something, sheesh.

They can't really say too much during the lock out. I am going to give Mike Ilitch a pass (on just about everything). He supports his teams and the city of Detroit

i agree that he supports his teams but the wings have one of the most loyal fanbases around. i think we deserve more than fee free tickets and a generic apology

I like how you think.

I wrote a letter to the editor of the Freep many years ago. I said Dear Mr. Ford. Please sell your team to Mr. Illitch.
