Kalamazoo, MI- One of the most beloved and hard-nosed Detroit Red Wings of all-time, Darren McCarty, will be making a special appearance at Wings Stadium during the Kalamazoo Wings 7:30 p.m. contest on Friday, December 20th versus the Toledo Walleye.
A four-time Stanley Cup winner (1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008) with the Detroit Red Wings, McCarty will be signing autographs and meeting with fans starting at 6:30 p.m. on December 20th.
During the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals versus the Philadelphia Flyers, McCarty's goal in game four proved to be the cup clinching tally.
Besides the Red Wings, McCarty played two seasons with the Calgary Flames.
The appearance on December 20th won't be the first time the NHL veteran has visited Vanrick Drive. During the 2007-08 season, McCarty played against the K-Wings as a member of the Flint Generals.
A second-round (49th overall) selection of the Red Wings in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft, McCarty posted 288 points (127 goals, 288 assists) and 1,477 minutes in penalties in his 758 NHL game career.
Individual-game tickets for this game, as well as the entire K-Wings 2013-14 season will go on-sale in early October.
