The Grand Rapids Griffins’ 30th anniversary season will kick off in style on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 3 p.m., when they’ll host the Detroit Red Wings’ annual Red & White Game at Van Andel Arena.
The event will conclude the Red Wings’ 2025 training camp and serve as a showcase for West Michigan fans to cheer both the stars of Hockeytown and the prospects who will play in Grand Rapids next season. All healthy players on Detroit’s training camp roster are expected to play in the game, which bridges the team’s camp in Traverse City and the start of its preseason schedule.
The format of the game is still to be determined, but per tradition it could be composed of scheduled segments of 5-on-5 and 4-on-4 play, power play/penalty kill, and a shootout competition.
Fans can secure their Red & White Game seats now exclusively through a Griffins' full or partial season ticket membership for the 2025–26 season. To order, call the Griffins' office at (616) 774-4585 ext. 2 or visit griffinshockey.com/tickets. Information about group tickets, premium hospitality options, and single-game tickets will be announced this summer, along with news about charitable tie-ins and exclusive experiential opportunities for fans.
