The prospects tournament that precedes training camp offered a chance for to see how the Detroit Red Wings’ future stacked up against other teams’ young talent.
That won’t happen this September. The Wings announced Monday that the 2020 prospects tournament has been canceled, and that whenever training camp will be held, it will take place at Little Caesars Arena, not in Traverse City, as has been tradition since 1997. Add it to the list of things to blame on COVID-19, as the pandemic has forced changes to address health concerns.
The Wings plan to bring both back to Traverse City in 2021.
