More than 88 percent of today’s NHL players are American Hockey League graduates, and for the 17th year in a row, more than 6 million fans attended AHL games across North America in 2017-18. Through the years, the AHL has been home to more than 100 future members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Dave Andrews begins his 26th and final season as the President and CEO of the AHL, 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 his- tory 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.
