History

The Chicago Wolves were founded in 1994 by Don Levin, who remains the team’s owner to this day. The Wolves were one of four teams that were added to the International Hockey League (IHL) for the 1994-1995 season.

In their first season, the Wolves had a successful campaign, finishing with a record of 34-33-14 and making it to the playoffs when they lost to the Kalamazoo Wings in the first round. In the 1997-1998 season, the Wolves would win their first Turner Cup, defeating the Detroit Vipers in seven games. The Wolves’ success in the IHL would continue, winning one more Turner Cup in their tenure in the league.

In 2001, the IHL disbanded, and the Wolves were left searching for a new home. They would eventually join the AHL, where they have been a mainstay ever since. The Wolves have won three Calder Cup championships in their time in the AHL, in 2002, 2008, and 2022. In addition to their success on the ice, the Wolves have also been a popular team in terms of attendance, regularly ranking among the top teams in the AHL.

Legacy

The Chicago Wolves have left a significant impact on the sport of ice hockey, not only in the AHL but in North American hockey as a whole. The team has been known for its high-scoring, entertaining brand of hockey, which has made them a fan favorite over the years. The Wolves have also been a breeding ground for some of the top talent in the NHL. Players like Steve Larmer, Sergei Krivokrasov, and Dmitri Kvartalnov have all played for the Wolves before making the jump to the NHL.

The Wolves have also been pioneers in terms of diversity in hockey. In 2003, the team hired Wendell Young as their general manager, making him the first African American GM in professional hockey history.

Rivalries

The Wolves have had a number of memorable rivalries over the years. One of their most intense rivalries was with the Grand Rapids Griffins during their time in the IHL. The two teams have faced off in the playoffs six times, with both teams winning three series each. The rivalry was so intense that it even spilled over into the stands, with Wolves fans and Griffins fans engaging in heated exchanges during games.

In the AHL, the Wolves have developed a rivalry with the Rockford IceHogs, who are located just 90 miles northwest of Chicago. The two teams have faced off in the playoffs two times in total, with the Wolves winning one of those series and the IceHogs winning the other one. The rivalry has been fueled by the close proximity of the two teams, as well as the fact that many of the players on each team have played against each other in the junior leagues or in college.
