Mike Babcock has a new home, but that doesn't mean he won't remember his past.
The head coach, who officially became the new bench boss of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, took out an ad with his family in the Detroit Free Press to thank Detroit Red Wings fans for their support during his time with the team.
Babcock spent 10 years with the Red Wings, earning 458 regular-season wins to go along with 67 postseason victories and a Stanley Cup in 2007-08.
