Chicago Wolves News Release
The Chicago Wolves were named the recipients of the American Hockey League's Sponsorship Sales Department of the Year award, marking the second consecutive year the Wolves have garnered the league honor.
"With all of the other AHL teams having such a great year, this is quite an honor," said Wolves President Mike Gordon. "This award is a direct reflection of a complete organizational effort. We were able to achieve this level of success because every member of the organization works together toward a common goal."
The Wolves set franchise records in corporate revenue and number of corporate partnerships during the 2010-11 season, which includes seeing corporate involvement increase by 15 percent.
The Wolves, who finished second in AHL attendance among teams returning for the 2011-12 campaign, are now accepting deposits for 2011-12 season tickets and group outings. The club has announced dates for six home games, including the 18th home opener at the Allstate Arena on Saturday, October 15, at 7 p.m.
The complete schedule, along with times and opponents, will be released later this summer. For more information, visit chicagowolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.
