Red Wings owner gives GM Holland vote of confidence

Ken Holland's job with the Detroit Red Wings is safe.

Owner Chris Ilitch gave Holland a vote of confidence Tuesday, praising him for his work with the club.

"He is an excellent general manager and executive," Ilitch told reporters, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press. "We have a lot of confidence in him in the future."

Holland has served as the club's GM since 1997, helping the Red Wings capture three Stanley Cups - most recently during the 2007-08 season.
