Mike Ilitch is a Detroit-born American entrepreneur and founder of Little Caesars Pizza. He owns the sports teams: the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League and Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball.
Ilitch was born in Detroit to Macedonian immigrants. His father was a tool-and-die maker.
In an attempt to do something positive for his Red Wings hockey team and the city of Detroit, the new hockey arena has emerged and been finalized.
As a result, the critics and haters have emerged as well. Why? That is their profession. They hate and critique. And hate some more.
Just remember, Mike, your haters and critics could not survive 20 seconds out on the ice even in a pond hockey pick up game. Good luck with your hockey arena in Detroit.
DROP THE PUCK, Mike.
