When a fire ravaged through an apartment complex Thursday in Plymouth Township, representatives from the American Red Cross and Salvation Army were there to help.

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.
