Since that time, Chicago has gone on a 16-4-0-2 tear (a .773 pace) despite playing without leading scorers Daniel Carr, Brooks Macek and Quinney for lengthy stretches due to injury and losing top-scoring defenseman Erik Brännström in a late-February trade. 34-26-4-1 “I think it’s a great compliment to our guys -- their work and their effort,” said Wolves head coachRocky 43-21-5-3 Thompson. “To secure home ice and the top of the division is great.

    2018-19 Chicago Wolves Game Notes ROCKFORD AT CHICAGO NOVEMBER 10, 2018 7 p.m. CW50 THE GREATEST RIVALRY IN SPORTS 2018-19 Go ahead. Think of the most-ballyhooed rivalries in sports. Bears vs. Packers. Red Sox vs. Yankees. TALE OF THE TAPE Cubs vs. Cardinals. Ohio State vs. Michigan. All of them pale in comparison to the Chicago Wolves vs. the Rockford IceHogs. Since the day this rivalry began on Oct. 19, 2007 -- when the Wolves defeated REGULAR-SEASON SERIES 0-0-0-0 Rockford | 0-0-0-0 Chicago the IceHogs and goaltender Corey Crawford 5-4 in overtime at Allstate Arena -- these franchises have LAST MEETING been dead-even. April 22, 2018 Today marks the 125th regular-season meeting between these teams. The Wolves have won 62 times and the IceHogs have won 62 times, though it’s not quite that close in goals (the Wolves have outscored the IceHogs 387-352). But this rivalry is more than just evenly matched. Because these teams are located just 70 miles apart and they play 12 times per year., there are plenty of opportunities to build 7-4-1-2 8-3-0-1 up a healthy amount of disdain for the other side.
