The Detroit Red Wings are involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, a group that grants the wishes of terminally ill children.
Not surprisingly, there have been wishes granted to meet GM Steve Yzerman:
It was great to have Tyler from @MakeAWishMI, who’s wish was to meet Steve Yzerman, at today’s game!

The legendary captain-turned-executive is set to be the foundation’s keynote speaker later this month for a live stream video on Facebook and YouTube.
He sat down with Make-A-Wish alum Amber for a funny trivia session:
@MakeAWishMI wish alum Amber and Steve Yzerman, @DetroitRedWings G.M. have fun with wish trivia!
Yzerman is the keynote speaker during our virtual WAMMYs livestream, Sat. July 25, at 7 p.m. on Facebook and YouTube. https://t.co/05EbcOnYC8#WAMTour20 #wishkids #hockey pic.twitter.com/J6GQrKr1up— Make-A-Wish Michigan (@MakeAWishMI) July 16, 2020
