What was the red wings first goalies name?

This is a trick question.

When the team started in 1926 they weren't the Red Wings, they were the Cougars and their starting goalie was Hap Holmes.

In 1930 they changed their name for a couple of years to the Falcons with Dolly Dolson in goal.

In 1932, they settled on the Red Wings as their title and the goalie was John Ross Roach.

Hope that answered the question... and maybe spurred a couple more!

Who is the chief rival of the Detroit Red Wings?

Over the years there have been many rivals. Most notably, the Colorado Avalanche were a strong rival, largely due to a cheap shot made by Claude Lemieux on Kris Draper (of the Wings) following a playoff game which shattered Draper's jaw. From that time forward, the teams played with intensity that approached hatred.

But in spite of any short term rivalries, there are five other teams that will always be strong rivals and those are the other original six teams. Of those five, the two nearest teams are strongest. There is a particular rivalry between Detroit and Toronto, particularly because Toronto is a Canadian city and hockey is a Canadian sport. But due in part to both teams continuing to be in the same conference, the strongest rivalry would have to be with the Chicago Blackhawks, also an original six team.

What songs are played during Red Wings games?

The song played when the Detroit Red Wings depends on who scores. When former Red Wing Brendan Shannahan would score they played an Irish jig because...he was Irish. If Dan Cleary scores they play "I can see clearly now the rain is gone". It's a play on-on-words with his last name. With other players it's usually something that goes with their name or a favorite song of the player. So watch the game and match the music to the players. And GO RED WINGS!!!
