The Chicago Wolves have reached a one-year affiliation agreement with the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL for the 2012-13 season.
"We are pleased and honored to begin a new relationship with the Kalamazoo Wings," said Wolves general manager WENDELL YOUNG.

The K-Wings have won three consecutive division titles since joining the ECHL at the start of the 2009-10 season.
