Chicago Wolves News Release
ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Chicago Wolves open the 2026 Calder Cup Finals against the Toronto Marlies with Game 1 on Friday night at Allstate Arena.
The Wolves have home-ice advantage in best-of-seven series that will determine the champion of the American Hockey League.
In seeking their sixth league championship--and fourth Calder Cup--the Wolves have dispatched the Texas Stars, Grand Rapids Griffins and Colorado Eagles, respectively, to reach the Finals for the first time since capturing the 2022 Calder Cup.
The Wolves and Marlies faced off four times during the 2025-26 regular season with each team winning twice-including once in each building. Forward Noel Gunler led the Wolves in scoring with a goal and four assists in the four contests while Skyler Brind'Amour and Dominik Badinka each had two goals. Marc Johnstone and Jacob Quillan led the Marlies in scoring against the Wolves, each with four points.
Thanks to finishing with a better regular-season record than the Marlies-the Wolves went 36-21-8-7 for 87 points while Toronto was 36-26-5-5 for 82 points-Chicago has home-ice advantage with Games 1 and 2 at Allstate Arena and, if necessary, Games 6 and 7.
