    2018-19 Chicago Wolves Game Notes CHICAGO AT IOWA APRIL 12, 2019 7 p.m. AHL TV 2018-19 POTENTIAL PLAYOFF OPPONENTS The Chicago Wolves have controlled their own fate when it comes to the postseason, clinching a playoff TALE OF THE TAPE spot on March 29 with a victory in Grand Rapids before securing the Central Division title for the third REGULAR-SEASON SERIES year in a row on April 6 with a win over Colorado. The only question mark now is the Wolves’ first-round 3-2-2-0 Iowa | 4-2-1-0 Chicago opponent. Six teams can still wind up as the No. 4 seed as no other team in the Central Division has claimed a spot in the race for the Calder Cup. Grand Rapids sits in second with 87 points with two games remaining and needs just one point to reach the postseason. Milwaukee’s 84 points are good for third and its magic number to clinch a playoff berth is four, but an overtime loss to Rockford on Tuesday put the Admirals in a vulnerable position with the 35-26-8-5 rest of the field so close on their heels. 43-21-5-4 LEADING SCORERS IN SERIES Iowa moved into fourth with 83 points, just one point back from Milwaukee, with a win over Grand Rapids on Wednesday.

  • AHL Approves Sale, Move of Portland Pirates to Springfield the Team Will Remain Affiliated with the NHL's Florida Panthers
    AHL approves sale, move of Portland Pirates to Springfield The team will remain affiliated with the NHL's Florida Panthers. FROM STAFF REPORTS May 23, 2016 Twenty­three seasons of Portland Pirates hockey officially came to an end on Monday. The American Hockey League’s Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale of the minor­league team to a group of local investors in Springfield, Massachusetts. The governors also approved the move of the franchise to Springfield, where it will begin play at the MassMutual Center this fall. The AHL team’s nickname will be announced in coming weeks. “This is a great day for our organization, for the city of Springfield and for the entire region,” said Frank Fitzgerald, attorney for the new owners, Springfield Hockey, LLC. The NHL’s Florida Panthers, who were partnered with the Pirates during the 2015­16 season, have signed a multiyear affiliation agreement with Springfield Hockey, LLC. The Panthers announced that Eric Joyce will remain their AHL general manager. Joyce was GM of the Pirates last season. “I think it’s actually a blessing in disguise,” said George Nanos of Portland, who has been a fan of AHL hockey since attending his first Maine Mariners game in 1977, when he was 14. “The American Hockey League is indifferent to us and they kind of let it slide.” The Pirates announced on May 4 that majority owner Ron Cain had struck a deal to sell the franchise to a group planning to move the team out of Portland. The news stunned city officials and left Cumberland County without a major tenant at Cross Insurance Arena.
