The Stanley Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually to the NHL playoff winner. The trophy was commissioned in 1892, named after Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor General of Canada who donated it as an award to Canada's top-ranking amateur ice hockey club.

Founded in 1926, the Detroit hockey team was first known as the Detroit Cougars from 1926-1930. From 1930 untill 1932 the name changed to the Detroit Falcons, and in 1932, the name finally changed to the Red Wings.

The eleven Stanley Cup championships won by the Wings occurred in the 1930s, 40s, 50s and then not again until the 1990s and 2000s. From 1967 till 1982 the team was known by the pejorative name as the "Dead Wings", due to a slump in standings, not even qualifying for the playoffs in some of those years.

Fans and commentators refer to the Detroit area as "Hockeytown", which has been a registered trademark owned by the franchise since 1966.
