"Hockeytown Thanks" Business Tour 2011

Detroit Red Wings Johan Franzen and Jimmy Howard
Meet Fans and Employees at Szott M59 Dodge




HIGHLAND, MI - Johan Franzen and Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings appeared at Szott M-59 Dodge as part of the Hockeytown Thanks tour. Szott M-59 Dodge was one of the many businesses visited by Detroit Red Wings players on October 17.

Franzen and Howard toured Szott M-59 Dodge meeting  and greeting fans of all ages. After a short meeting the two players began their tour of the facility. Franzen first   approached a customer who was in the process of   purchasing a new vehicle and surprised them with two   tickets to a Red Wings game. Howard then found    another pair of unsuspecting customers and provided   them with tickets. Franzen and Howard took turns  passing out tickets and showing how much they   appreciate fans of the Detroit Red Wings.

Continuing the tour, "Howie" and "The Mule" then visited the service area where they met with technicians and talked about current repairs. They were both inquisitive about their work while they passed out tickets to the technicians. Howard replied,  while laughing, "I'm   not going to lie, I have no idea what those are," after asking technician Paul Williams what he was working on.


Franzen had his turn as he stood and spoke with Technician Eric Azzoli   for a few moments after the group had continued on with the tour. Eric was performing a transmission flush at the time. Franzen was pointing all over the engine and asking many questions that Eric gladly answered.

Franzen and Howard ended their Hockeytown Thanks  business tour with autograph signing and photo  opportunities. It was a great turn out and a great day at work  for customers and employees alike. The Detroit Red Wings  organization continues to show why their players shine both  on and off the ice through customer interactions such as the  Hockeytown Thanks tour.
