The Chicago Wolves will honor ABC 7 Chicago Sports Director and Primary Sports Anchor MARK GIANGRECO's achievement as the winner of the American Hockey League's 2006-07 James H. Ellery Memorial Award when the team takes on the Houston Aeros at the Allstate Arena on Sat., Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.
GIANGRECO, who garnered the honor for outstanding coverage of the AHL in the category of television media this summer, will drop the ceremonial first puck prior to the start of the Wolves game to commemorate the occasion.
