While it’s not exactly sweater weather, the anticipation surrounding the 2025-26 American Hockey League season has already begun to build.
On Thursday, the Wolves announced their ’25-26 regular-season schedule and it promises to deliver a season of thrills and excitement.
The franchise’s 32nd season will feature a 72-game slate beginning with the Season Opener on Oct. 11 vs. the Wild in Iowa. The Wolves’ Home Opener will be Oct. 18 against the rival Rockford IceHogs at Allstate Arena.
Under Head Coach Cam Abbott, the Wolves will seek their second consecutive postseason appearance and begin a quest for their sixth league championship.
“It’s definitely exciting the schedule is out,” Wolves captain Josiah Slavin said. “It just reminds you of everything that’s going to happen this year. It’s exciting to see how close it’s getting and I’m sure we’re all excited to get back on the ice together and play as a team.”
The Home Opener will be one of 12 contests with Rockford during the season, matching the number of games scheduled against another Central Division rival, the Milwaukee Admirals.
In addition, the Wolves will face off against the Colorado Eagles for the first time since the 2018-19 season. Chicago will travel to Loveland, Col., for back-to-back games Feb. 6-7 and then host the Eagles on Feb. 14-15 at Allstate Arena.
Other highlights of the ’25-26 schedule include the Wolves taking on the Toronto Marlies for the teams’ first showdowns since the ’21-22 campaign. Chicago and Toronto will square off Nov. 1-2 at Allstate Arena and Feb. 28-March 1 in Canada.
The Wolves will match up 10 times each against Central Division opponents Iowa and Grand Rapids, eight times vs. Manitoba and Texas and have four meetings with Cleveland.
“We’re excited to get back on the ice this fall to build on last season’s momentum,” Wolves President of Business Operations, Jon Sata, said. “Our schedule release means that hockey season is right around the corner. We have a lot of fun in store for our fans in the upcoming campaign with more details to come.
“It’s nice to have Toronto, Colorado and Cleveland on the schedule in addition to our steady dose of division play,” Sata continued “The Wolves are looking forward to a great season ahead!”
