The Detroit Red Wings are set to open training camp this week while key leadership roles remain in flux. The team appoints Shawn Horcoff as interim general manager, and it moves former GM Steve Yzerman into a senior advisor position. Red Wings CEO Chris Ilitch makes the changes ahead of camp’s start.
Ilitch also says the organization is continuing its search for a new general manager. With the leadership situation unresolved, the club starts camp without naming a team captain on the ice. Outlet coverage frames the timing as directly tied to camp preparation and the ongoing process for determining longer-term management direction, rather than a final decision being reached before players report.
