FIREBIRDS, CONDORS AND BEARS, OH MY!

In addition to their long-standing battles against Central Division rivals, get ready to see the Wolves welcome some not-so-familiar opponents to Allstate Arena during the 2024-25 season.

It’s been a busy offseason for the Wolves, first with the announcement that the team has again become the American Hockey League affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes followed by the hiring of Cam Abbott as Head Coach, and now excitement is ramping up with Thursday’s release of the ’24-25 regular-season schedule.

The Wolves’ 31st campaign will feature a 72-game slate that will begin with the Home Opener against the Milwaukee Admirals on Oct. 12 at Allstate Arena.

That’s just the start as the ’24-25 schedule is loaded with unique matchups, including when the Wolves face off against the Coachella Valley Firebirds for the first time in franchise history. Chicago will travel to Palm Springs, Calif., for back-to-back games Jan. 11-12 and host the Firebirds on March 29-30 at Allstate Arena.

Other highlights of the ’24-25 schedule include the Wolves taking on the two-time defending Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears in the teams’ first showdowns since Dec. 23, 2005. Chicago and Hershey will square off Oct. 19-20 in Pennsylvania and March 15-16 at Allstate Arena.

Also, the Wolves will battle the Bakersfield Condors for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign with games Jan. 18-19 at Allstate Arena and Feb. 7-8 in California.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the Coachella Valley Firebirds, Bakersfield Condors and Hershey Bears to our home slate this year, and we’re always excited to reignite our rivalries with Rockford, Milwaukee and Grand Rapids,” said Jon Sata, Wolves President of Business Operations. “In total this season, we’ll have 10 opponents from across North America visiting Allstate Arena, providing more parity in our schedule for which our fans have clamored.”

The season opener will be one of 12 contests with Milwaukee during the season, matching the number of games against another Central Division rival, the Rockford IceHogs. The Wolves will also play eight times each against division foes Texas, Manitoba, Iowa and Grand Rapids and have four meetings against Eastern Conference powerhouse Cleveland.
