Detroit – It is a feeling defenseman Jake Chelios isn’t going to forget for a long time.
Chelios was made his NHL debut Friday night for the Red Wings, and he was still basking in it after Sunday’s morning skate.
“It was unbelievable,” said Chelios, 28, who had spent his pro career in the minor leagues. “Making your NHL debut is especially enough, and to do it in your hometown, that made it that much better. It was an unbelievable experience.
“There was a lot of work put in in the minors, but it was all worth it.
