Chicago Wolves News Release
The Chicago Wolves will stay in the American Hockey League's West Division after the 30-team league re-aligned its two-conference, four-division format for the 2010-11 season.
The Wolves will compete against one new rival in the eight-team West Division - the Oklahoma City Barons - and six traditional foes: the Houston Aeros, Milwaukee Admirals, Peoria Rivermen, Rockford IceHogs, San Antonio Rampage and Texas Stars.
The Western Conference also features seven rivals from the North Division: the Abbotsford Heat, Grand Rapids Griffins, Hamilton Bulldogs, Lake Erie Monsters, Manitoba Moose, Rochester Americans and Toronto Marlies.
The 2010-11 AHL regular-season schedule and the format for the 2011 Calder Cup Playoffs, will be released later this summer. For information on tickets or group outings, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit chicagowolves.com.
