Blues Chairman Tom Stillman has issued the following statement:
"The Blues organization would like to extend our condolences to the Ilitch family, including Mike's wife Marian, their seven children, many grandchildren and extended family. Mr. Ilitch was a passionate leader, not only for the Red Wings and the city of Detroit, but also the National Hockey League. His tireless work made a positive and lasting impact in sports, business and in his community."
