Chicago Wolves Win Calder Cup

SPRINGFIELD, MA. -The Chicago Wolves, American Hockey League affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes, won the Calder Cup Saturday night, closing out the Springfield Thunderbirds in five games.

The championship marks the second consecutive Calder Cup to be won by the Canes AHL affiliate, as the Charlotte Checkers brought home the trophy in 2019 before COVID-19 washed away opportunities to crown a champion in both 2020 and 2021.
Chicago's roster featured 24 players currently under contract with Carolina, including forward Josh Leivo, who was named Most Valuable Player of the Calder Cup Playoffs. The veteran winger led all skaters with his 15 goals and 29 points.
Forward Jack Drury had 24 points in 18 games, the most by any rookie in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 24 points are also the most in any playoffs by a first-year player since Jamie Benn had 26 in 24 games for Texas in 2010.
Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov published a record of 5-1-0 with a .950 save percentage and two shutouts after returning to the team following the conclusion of the Canes postseason run.
Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky guided the group, after also successfully doing so with Charlotte in 2019.
Carolina now becomes the first NHL organization to have their AHL affiliate win back-to-back Calder Cups since Washington did so with Hershey in both 2009 & 2010.
