The Detroit Red Wings have some of the most iconic legends in the game's history, and Alex Delvecchio was one of them. The Wings will honor him this season with a jersey patch and helmet decal featuring his number.

The patch will be located on the shoulder of the Wings' home, road, and Centennial jerseys, and on ear protector of the helmets.
