DETROIT -The Detroit Red Wings are proud to announce another year of Red Wings Official Viewing Parties for the 2016-17 season. Red Wings fans will have the opportunity to connect and cheer on the team with their peers, meet Red Wings Alumni and win great prizes during the season at a variety of locations throughout Michigan.

The fun begins on Thursday, Oct. 13 with the first of four Red Wings Official Viewing Parties at Applebee's locations throughout Metro Detroit. Four-time Stanley Cup champion Darren McCarty will be in attendance at the Applebee's location in Taylor (21350 Ecorse Rd.) signing autographs and taking pictures as the Red Wings take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Season Opener. While cheering on the Red Wings, fans will also have the opportunity to play Hockeytown Trivia, enjoy great food and drink specials and enter for the chance to win autographed memorabilia and tickets to upcoming Red Wings games at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings and MotorCity Casino Hotel (2901 Grand River Ave., Detroit) will once again stage a number of Official Viewing Parties at Sound Board, the state-of-the-art live performance venue inside MotorCity Casino Hotel, for Red Wings fans ages 21 and older. Six viewing parties will be held at Sound Board, including the third Official Viewing Party on Wednesday, Nov. 2 against the Philadelphia Flyers with former Red Wings defenseman Larry Murphy in attendance. Fans are invited to enjoy 15 big screen TVs, complimentary Little Caesars pizza and soft drinks, a variety of interactive games, photo opportunities with the Red Wings Zamboni, Hockeytown trivia, $1 draft beers and chances to win autographed merchandise or tickets to future Red Wings games.
Viewing parties at Sound Board feature free admission; however, tickets are limited and will be made available through Ticketmaster approximately two weeks before each event date.
