Mickey Redmond, the club’s popular television commentator, will undergo surgery, Monday, to have a small tumor on his lung removed. The tumor was found during a recent routine examination which Redmond undergoes periodically following his successful surgery for lung cancer in January, 2003.
The physicians treating Redmond reported that the tumor was discovered early and they anticipate that he will fully recover from the surgery. Redmond will return to the broadcast booth for the Red Wings’ game against St. Louis, March 5.
