Chicago Wolves News Release
GLENVIEW, Ill. - The Chicago Wolves will host their 2019-20 home opener on Saturday, Oct. 5, against the Central Division rival Grand Rapids Griffins at Allstate Arena. Fans attending the 7 p.m. game will receive a replica Western Conference Champions banner, courtesy of Jewel-Osco.
