Coach Mike Babcock and General Manager Ken Holland stopped at the Hiller's store in Northville.
Tough on the ice, the Detroit Red Wings showed their softer side Friday when they rang bells and collected money for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign throughout Metro Detroit. The team’s coach, general manager and six players took some time away from their NHL Central Division race and collected donations for about two hours Friday in Plymouth, Troy, Northville and Birmingham, allowing fans a chance to get personal with their favorite Red Wings while giving a boost to the Salvation Army’s holiday fundraising. For Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, who appeared at Hiller's Market in Northville with the team’s general manager Ken Holland, a perk of the effort is the ability to give back to the fans who support the team year-round.

Red Wings raise money for the Salvation Army at stations in Northville, Plymouth and Troy Thursday.
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock and general manager Ken Holland had their game faces on Thursday night. There weren't any hockey sticks or pucks involved, though. They were at Hiller's grocery store in Northville Thursday evening ringing bells to raise money for the Salvation Army. It started out as a friendly competition between the two when they started fundraising about five years ago to see who could raise the most money, Holland said. It has since become a team effort, literally, in the Detroit area. In Plymouth, players Jonathan Ericsson and Drew Miller were at Kroger on Ann Arbor Rd. And in Troy, players Justin Abdelkader and Darren Helm were collecting donations at Hockeytown Authentics. "I think it's important the guys are out there…
