The Chicago Wolves are a professional ice hockey team in the American Hockey League (AHL) and are affiliated with the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Wolves play home games at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois, and are owned by Chicago business owner Don Levin.

Originally a member of the International Hockey League, the Wolves joined the AHL after the IHL folded in 2001.

History

The Wolves won the Turner Cup twice (1998, 2000) in the IHL and the Calder Cup three times (2002, 2008, and 2022). The Wolves qualified for all but five postseasons (2005–06, 2008–09, 2010–11, 2012–13, and 2015–16 seasons), appearing in eight league championship finals (1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2019 and 2022) in their 22-year history.

The team's most notable player was forward Steve Maltais, who until his retirement after the 2004–05 season had played every season of the franchise and holds most of its scoring records. Other notable players include goaltender Wendell Young, ex-Pittsburgh star Rob Brown and long time Chicago Blackhawks stars Troy Murray, Chris Chelios and Al Secord. The Wolves had their best season start in their 14-year history, during the 2007–08 season, winning 13 of the first 14 games, with an overtime loss. The Wolves finished the season with 111 points, and first in the Western Conference.

The Wolves were the AHL affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers from 2001 to 2011. The Thrashers relocated to Winnipeg in June 2011 and added the St. John's IceCaps (formerly the Manitoba Moose) as their new AHL affiliate, leaving the Wolves and the NHL's Vancouver Canucks to find new affiliates. On June 27, 2011, the Wolves and Canucks agreed to a two–year affiliation agreement.{{cite web|date=June 27, 2011|title=Canucks enter new AHL affiliation agreement with Chicago|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=370154|url-status=bot: unknown|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110630021558/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=370154|archive-date=June 30, 2011|access-date=June 27, 2011|work=TSN|publisher=The Canadian Press}}

On April 23, 2013, the Wolves and St. Louis Blues reached a three-year affiliation agreement. The deal was struck after the Canucks and Wolves decided not to renew their existing affiliation agreement and purchased the Peoria Rivermen franchise from the Blues creating the Utica Comets.{{Cite web|date=April 23, 2013|title=Blues Announce Affiliation with Wolves|url=https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/blues-announce-affiliation-with-wolves/c-667265|url-status=live|access-date=April 23, 2013|website=St. Louis Blues|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180321192758/https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/blues-announce-affiliation-with-wolves/c-667265 |archive-date=2018-03-21 }} In November 2016, it was first reported the Blues would not renew their affiliation with the Wolves and were planning to move their affiliation to Kansas City for 2017.{{cite web|last=Schaeffer|first=Brenden|date=November 30, 2016|title=Report: Blues AHL affiliation to move to Kansas City|url=http://www.kmov.com/story/33827728/report-blues-ahl-affiliation-to-move-to-kansas-city|url-status=live|access-date=November 30, 2016|website=KMOV|publisher=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201130639/http://www.kmov.com/story/33827728/report-blues-ahl-affiliation-to-move-to-kansas-city |archive-date=2016-12-01 }} However, this was unconfirmed and then denied by the announced potential owner in Kansas City, Lamar Hunt Jr., in a press release from his ECHL team in the area, the Missouri Mavericks,{{cite web|last=Spedden|first=Zach|date=December 2, 2016|title=Missouri Mavericks Deny Reports on AHL and Kansas City|url=http://arenadigest.com/2016/12/02/missouri-mavericks-deny-reports-on-ahl-and-kansas-city/|url-status=live|access-date=December 2, 2016|website=Arena Digest|publisher=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161203145415/http://arenadigest.com/2016/12/02/missouri-mavericks-deny-reports-on-ahl-and-kansas-city/ |archive-date=2016-12-03 }} and further denied by AHL commissioner, David Andrews, after the January 2017 Board of Governors meeting.{{cite news|last=Timmermann|first=Tom|date=January 31, 2017|title=Blue Notes: Reaves moving to third line, at least to start|newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|url=http://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/professional/blue-notes-reaves-moving-to-third-line-at-least-to/article_e582beb1-e8b5-593a-ba90-764997251104.html|access-date=January 31, 2017}}

Television

The Wolves once were the only AHL team with a full television package. As the Chicago Blackhawks' late owner Bill Wirtz had refused to allow Blackhawks home games to be televised locally, the Wolves were viewed and embraced as an alternative; the Wolves took advantage of this, going so far as to promote themselves with the slogan "We Play Hockey The Old-Fashioned Way: We Actually Win". After Judd Sirott served as the team's play-by-play announcer for its first 12 seasons, starting in the 2006–07 season broadcast announcers were long-time Blackhawks commentators Pat Foley and Bill Gardner; Foley ultimately returned to the Blackhawks for the 2008–09 season after Bill Wirtz died and his son Rocky took over the team, reversing many of his father's policies, one of which allowed the Blackhawks' games to be aired locally on TV.{{Cite web|date=June 16, 2008|title=Pat Foley returns to Hawks|url=http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/1008218%2Cearlyhawk061608.article|url-status=bot: unknown|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080701131247/http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/1008218,earlyhawk061608.article|archive-date=July 1, 2008|access-date=June 16, 2008|website=Chicago Sun-Times}} Since 2008, Jason Shaver has handled the play-by-play duties for the Wolves, along with Gardner.

Today, select regular-season home games are broadcast on WPWR-TV (My50), and WMEU-CD (The U), and all games are streamed on AHLTV.
