The new Detroit team purchased the players of the WHL Victoria Cougars and adopted their nickname in honor of the folded franchise. Their red and white striped jersey is still worn by the Wings on special occasions (e.g. Winter Classic). In 1930 the team was renamed the Detroit Falcons. In 1932, the team was bought by James Norris, who had played for the Montreal HC "Winged Wheelers" around the turn of the century.

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.

Incidentally, the sweaters wore during the 2009 Winter Classic were a version of the team's original Detroit Cougar sweaters.
