Best Answer

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.
