KANSAS CITY RED WINGS RECORD In July 1977, Detroit Red Wings president Ted Lindsay came to Kansas City scouting the area in hopes of placing the Wings minor league affiliate in KC.
The KC Red Wings served as the Detroit Red Wings farm team from 1977-1979. After two years, the Wings moved their affiliate to Glen Falls, NY.
In the two years the team was located in KC, six players were chosen as stand out representatives of the team.

The following year Mal Davis was a first team right winger and J.P. LeBlanc was a second team All-Star. Goaltender Ron Low was awarded the Tommy Ivan Award, as well as being chosen a first team All-Star.
