More than 88 percent of today’s NHL players are American Hockey League graduates and through the years, the AHL has been home to more than 100 future members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Scott Howson begins his second season as the President and CEO of the AHL after David Andrews retired following his 26th season (2019-20), the third longest tenure in league history. During Andrews’ tenure as the leader of the AHL, the league has grown from 16 teams to 31. In the expansion of the AHL, Andrews orchestrated the largest expansion effort in league history when the “A” added nine new cities in 2001. The AHL playoff champion is awarded the Calder Cup. The AHL’s top prize is named after Frank Calder, the NHL’s first president. Calder was instrumental in the formation of the AHL in the mid-1930’s. There are four current cities in the AHL that housed teams during the league’s inaugural campaign in 1936- 37: Springfield, Providence, Syracuse and Cleveland. Syracuse, called the Stars in 1936-37, won the first ever AHL championship and the city has not had a hockey championship since. Hershey has 11 Calder Cup Championships, the most in AHL history. Hershey also has made 22 Calder Cup Finals appearances, the most of any city. More than 100 players and coaches have won both the Calder Cup and the NHL’s most coveted trophy, the Stanley Cup. 3 IceHogs Affiliates: Chicago Blackhawks (NHL) Team Info Arena: United Center (Capacity: 20,500) Address: 1901 W.

Through the first 14 seasons as the Blackhawks top affiliate, Rockford has promoted 99 different players to Chicago and sent 130 players overall to the NHL. The Blackhawks 2010, 2013, and 2015 Stanley Cup Championship clubs featured plenty of Rockford influence, with 22 former IceHogs over- all helping the Blackhawks claim hockey’s ultimate prize. Some current and former Blackhawks that have used Rockford as a launching pad to their NHL ca- reer include Kevin Lankinen, Kirby Dach, Adam Boqvist, David Kampf and Brandon Hagel. Of Chica- go’s last 17 first round draft selections, 13 have developed their skills with the IceHogs including: Cam Barker (2004, #3 overall pick) Jack Skille (2005, #7 overall pick) Kyle Beach (2008, #11 overall) Dylan Olsen (2009, #28 overall) Mark McNeill (2011, #18 overall) Phillip Danault (2011, #26 overall) Teuvo Teravainen (2012, #18 overall) Ryan Hartman (2013, #30 overall) Nick Schmaltz (2014, #20 overall) Henri Jokiharju (2018, #29 overall) Adam Boqvist (2018, #8 overall) Nicolas Beaudin (2018, #27 overall) Kirby Dach (2019, #3 overall) Defenseman Nicolas Beaudin skated with both the IceHogs and the Blackhawks during the 2020-21 season, recording 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in nine games with Rockford and six points (two goals, four assists) in 19 games with Chicago. 4 IceHogs Affiliates: Indy Fuel (ECHL) Team Info Arena: Indiana Farmers Coliseum (Capacity: 6,200) Address: 1202 East 38th St. Indianapolis, IN 46205 Phone: (317) 925-3835 Fax: (317) 925-3850 Web site: www.indyfuelhockey.com 2020-21 Recap Staff Directory Record: 37-24-8-0 Owner & Team Chairman: Jim Hallett 3rd Eastern Conference Team President & COO: Larry McQueary Playoffs: Eliminated
