The 6-foot, 177-pound forward signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Red Wings on March 28 after playing two seasons at the University of Denver. As a sophomore, Mazur skated in 40 games with the Pioneers and ranked among the team leaders with 22 goals (1st), 15 assists (9th), 37 points (2nd), a plus-19 rating (5th), 32 penalty minutes (5th), eight power play goals (1st), six game-winning goals (1st) and 131 shots (1st). Mazur was named to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference’s Second All-Star Team after helping Denver clinch its second consecutive Penrose Cup as the conference’s regular-season champions. Mazur was selected as the NCHC Rookie of the Year in 2021-22 and earned unanimous NCHC All-Rookie Team Honors after recording 38 points (14-24-38), a plus-23 rating and 44 penalty minutes in 41 games during his freshman campaign. Mazur helped the Pioneers win the 2022 NCAA Division I championship as a freshman along with Detroit prospects Antti Tuomisto (35th overall/2019) and Shai Buium (36th overall/2021).

He made his North American professional debut with the Griffins in 2021-22 and set franchise records for a rookie in assists (43), points (64), game-winning goals (7) and overtime goals (3) in 70 games in Grand Rapids. Berggren was named the AHL Rookie of the Month for April after totaling 20 points (6-14-20) in 14 contests. He finished the season with 26 points (7-19-26) in his last 18 games, including a season-high 11-game point streak (6-13-19) to close out the year. Prior to arriving in North America, Berggren played for Skelleftea AIK in the Swedish Hockey League, tying for the team lead with 45 points (12-33-45) in 49 games during the 2020-21 campaign, in addition to four assists in 12 postseason contests to help his team reach the semifinals of the SHL playoffs.

When the Detroit Red Wings took the ice for Opening Night on Saturday, Oct. 14, a new sound reverberated through the award-winning Little Caesars Arena.

Now possible due to technological advancements in the last several years, a new, classic Hockeytown goal horn has been installed in the arena. The horn was sounded for the first time on Saturday evening when the Red Wings faced the Tampa Bay Lightning at 7 p.m.

While the horn is the exact model that was used at Joe Louis Arena during the team’s four most recent Stanley Cup Championship runs – and the Little Caesars Arena horn has a slightly different sound based on being in a new arena environment – it has the same bone-rattling blare that fans and players remember from their time at “The Joe.”

“There’s nothing like the sound and feeling of a goal horn reverberating through a raucous hockey arena and we’re excited to debut a new, classic Hockeytown goal horn on Opening Night at Little Caesars Arena,” said Ryan Gustafson, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of Ilitch Sports + Entertainment. “This specific model of goal horn is a distinct part of our identity as Hockeytown, harkening back to Joe Louis Arena and paying homage to legendary performances of the past.”

When Little Caesars Arena opened ahead of the 2017-18 season, technology and equipment didn’t allow for the safe storage of compressed Nitrogen gas at the top of the building. In the years since, a method of normal air compression has emerged for safer use in horns, allowing for this installation to be made. For the first six seasons in the new building, a three-blast recording of the nostalgic Joe Louis Arena horn was played following Red Wings goals. The revered Joe Louis Arena goal horn is on display at the Red Wings team offices at Little Caesars Arena.

Red Wings fans and Little Caesars Arena guests with sensory sensitivities are reminded that KultureCity sensory kits are available at the Guest Services offices near Portals 10, 20, and 67. Little Caesars Arena was named the 2021 KultureCity Sensory Inclusive Venue of the Year for making all events hosted at the venue sensory inclusive, promoting an accommodating and positive experience for guests and fans with sensory needs.

Sherrié Savage has been drawing since she was 4 years old. Coming from a creative family, she was encouraged to use art as an outlet throughout her life. Now, as multimedia designer at Little Caesars Enterprises, Savage utilizes her talents to create graphics, drawings, animations and other forms of art. While her inherent creativity is evident in her professional work, many of Savage’s colleagues were unaware of her passion for art and the extent of her skills.

To highlight personal artwork by colleagues like Savage, Little Caesars established the LC Colleague Art Gallery, located in a shared space on the third floor of the Little Caesars World Headquarters.

Savage, whose creations are currently on display in the building, finds it important to see herself in her art while allowing others to do the same.

“I love to see other people happy about my work because it means they can relate to it. It makes me want to keep going as an artist – in and outside of work – so others can feel like they’re being represented,” said Savage.

One of Savage’s works on display in the LC Colleague Art Gallery, titled, “It’s not you, it’s the shoes,” was initially featured in Design Core Detroit’s Month of Design in September 2022 through an exhibit sponsored by Footlocker. The canvas, created with acrylic paint, was also displayed at Lawrence Tech University in Southfield before finding a home in the Little Caesars World Headquarters, which gave Savage an immense sense of pride. Another representation of Savage’s artistic work is her series of coloring books dedicated to celebrating Black culture, “Naturally ILLustrated,” that are sold in local Meijer stores.

Like Savage, additional Little Caesars colleagues are selected to have their work displayed through a submission process and reviewed by the internal curation department.

“The Little Caesars World Headquarters is truly a masterpiece, with special touches and details throughout the building. The gallery is a wonderful addition, designed to celebrate the talents of our incredible colleagues and create a welcoming and creative space for all. We are proud to have such a unique and inspiring initiative for everyone to enjoy,” said Cindy Olsen, Director of Curation and Content Activation, Ilitch Holdings, Inc.

Another colleague whose artwork has been featured is Jaime Pescia, Vice President of Global Creative & Brand Engagement for Little Caesars Enterprises.

“People have talents about which we may have no idea, and this dedicated space gives us an opportunity to showcase them in a fun and engaging way while creating connection amongst colleagues,” said Pescia.

“My artwork was a series combining watercolor and collage,” said Pescia. “Initially I ripped it up because I was being too formal about it. Ripping it up gave me freedom to create more. The work turned into a representation of the emotion of looking at patterns, texture and color palette.”

A look at Savage’s and Pescia’s work can be seen in the photos below.
