Detroit cougars,and Detroit falcons
The Detroit Red Wings were originally named the Detroit Cougars in honor of the Victoria Cougars, formerly of the defunct PCHL, whose players were acquired by the new Detroit franchise.
Before the team became the Red Wings, it was known as the Detroit Cougars from 1926 to 1930 and the Detroit Falcons from 1930 to 1932.
The Detroit Cougars, as the Red Wings were first known, got their original roster by buying the player contracts of the defunct Victoria Cougars of the Western Hockey League.
Victoria Cougars
The Red Wings were started in 1926 by the Townsend-Seyburn group of Detroit as the Detroit Cougars. They were named after the Victoria Cougars of the defunct WHL, whose players had been purchased by the Detroit franchise. In 1930 they became the Detroit Falcons. In 1932 they were purchased by James Norris, who used to play for the Montreal HC "Winged Wheelers" and renamed the Red Wings in honor of his former club.
The Detroit Red Wings played their first game on November 18, 1926, against the Boston Bruins in Border Cities Arena in Windsor, Ontario. They were known, at the time, as the Detroit Cougars. They would not be renamed the Red Wings until 1932.
The Detroit Red Wings began play in the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1926. Originally known as the Detroit Cougars, the team changed its name to the Red Wings in 1932. They are one of the original six teams of the NHL and have a rich history in professional hockey.
since 1926
Essentially, the answer is yes. After the Western Canadian Hockey League folded, the Detroit NHL expansion team bought the players from the Victoria Cougars and also originally took the name "Cougars" in honor of the Victoria team. Unfortunately, however, the NHL does not consider the Red Wings to be a continuation of the Victoria franchise. Incidentally, the sweaters wore during the 2009 Winter Classic were a version of the team's original Detroit Cougar sweaters.
Red .... wings. Wings. Do you get the significance now?
Cougars do eat salmon. Cougars like to eat fish in general. They prefer red meat like deer and elk when they can get them.
