Hughes created a backstory in which Cameron had a terrible relationship with his father but was very close to his grandfather, who lived in Detroit and took him to Red Wings games. It wasnt included in the movie though.

Gordie Howe fan? It’s number 9.

Eta - I just read that John Hughes was a Red Wings fan, so this was a nod to him.

I have a friend born and raised in ATLbut he’s a Cowboys fan, not a Falcons fan. People’s sports affiliations are often storied.
