Today’s practice schedule at the Red Wings’ 2022 training camp is a little screwy, so in case I’m unable to update my blog with the YouTube link (present link goes to the Wings’ YouTube page), Red Wings play-by-play announcer Ken Kal confirmed that he’s going to be doing the play-by-play of today’s Red vs. White Game (12 PM EDT start) alongside DetroitRedWings.com’s Daniella Bruce, Carley Johnston and Art Regner:
Fans don’t forget the annual Red – White game takes place tomorrow at 12 noon. Join @daniellabruce_ @carleykjohnston @ArthurJRegner and yours truly for all the action. Game will be streamed @DetroitRedWings web site. pic.twitter.com/j50zFKCg7M— Ken Kal (@KenKalDRW) September 24, 2022
If you want to follow along statistically as well, there will be a box score posted on this PointStreak page around the time the game starts.
Practice for the players not taking part in the Red vs. White Game begins at 9:30 AM this morning, and goes till 10:30; then both the Red and White teams will take to the ice from 11:05 till 11:45 AM to reinforce structures of play, and the main game starts at 12 PM EDT.
I believe that the Wings will experiment with a “running clock” with certain times including stoppages of play over the course of 2 periods played, as per past practice, but we’ll have to wait and see what coach surprises coach Lalonde and his staff have up their sleeves.
For what it’s worth, Monday’s practices will only involve the two game squads–Team Red and Team White (meaning that the first cuts are coming tonight or tomorrow)–and things get underway at 9:30 AM. Players will engage in the dreaded “skating test” toward the end of both practices.
