One hundred ninety-two days ago, the Chicago Wolves opened the 2018-19 season in Colorado with a TALE OF THE TAPE riveting overtime win over the Eagles.

Now it’s time to figure out who’ll be Chicago’s opponent when the 2019 Calder Cup Playoffs open next week. While everyone learned Saturday night which teams will join the top-seeded Wolves in the Central Division’s portion of the postseason -- the Iowa Wild (87 points), Grand Rapids (87 points) and the Mil- 38-30-5-2 waukee Admirals (86 points) -- the matchups for the best-of-five Central Division Semifinals won’t be set 44-21-6-4 until Rockford and Milwaukee finish around 8:40 p.m. today at the MetroCentre.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr GOING … GOING … PUBLIC? TAKING A UNITED STATES PROFESSIONAL SPORTS LEAGUE PUBLIC IAN A. MCLIN ABSTRACT The four major American professional sports leagues—the MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL—are wildly popular, but the leagues fail to capitalize fully on their success because they are organized in a largely inefficient manner. By organizing as unincorporated non-profits, leagues forgo their ability to raise capital via inves- tors, forcing taxpayers to bear the burden of league investments such as new stadium construction. Further, the current organiza- tional model creates a collective action problem, as self-interested team owners focus their support on actions that benefit their own franchise and leave ineffective commissioners in power. A solution to these problems is for a professional sports league to incorporate and organize as a publicly traded company. The ap- plication of the corporate model to the sports world is not a new concept—several individual franchises have “gone public” over the years.

  • Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2019
    ILLINOIS HOCKEY HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2019 Steve Drews Officials’ Category Steve grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago and found a liking to the game of “hockey” from his days of watching the Chicago Blackhawks games on TV and playing it in the kitchen with the red and yellow plastic blades with the BLACK and WHITE shafts against his parents who took turns playing goalie. He began playing in 1974 when a local rink (Carol Stream) opened its doors. He played in different youth organizations growing up and was a member of his high school team’s (Glenbard North) inaugural year. After graduating from high school, and while attending the College of DuPage, his not so little brother took a liking to the game as well. Steve was asked to help on the bench with that team. In 1982 Steve made the grand decision to try on the BLACK and WHITE by taking up officiating. He felt he could do a better job than the referees he saw in games while helping on his brother’s team. He worked hard at officiating and took a liking to it. He worked his way up through the officiating ranks over the years doing all level games. Steve has worked at both the Chicago Stadium and the United Center as well as various levels of nationals, high school and college championships. Steve became an Illinois Hockey Officials Association (IHOA) board member where he served as Seminar Coordinator, Secretary, Vice President and President. He also became a Certified Instructor in 2000 and has been teaching ever since.
