The 1998 Turner Cup champs take the Wolves Elite Frozen Eight tournament

Throughout our history, the Chicago Wolves have been one of the more dominant teams in the league. These teams have been led by Hall of Fame veterans as well as some of the game’s best up-and-coming talent. We’ve hoisted four championship banners to Allstate Arena’s rafters along with countless more conference and divisional honors.

With so many great teams in our history, we settled the debate this summer with the help of our friends at EA Sports and their NHL 20 game. Our Wolves Elite Frozen Eight tournament started with eight of our finest teams (1998, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2017 and 2019) and concluded with a best-of-3 Wolves Cup Finals between the top-seeded 2008 Calder Cup champions and the second-seeded 1998 Turner Cup champions.

We streamed all of the games on our Chicago Wolves Twitch channel and here’s how the tournament played out:
