WOLVES HISTORY

JUNE 15, 1998Backed by 16,701 fans, the second-largest crowd in Turner Cup Finals history, the Wolves shut out the Detroit Vipers 3-0 to capture their first Turner Cup Championship, 4-games-to-3 . It was the first seven-game series for the IHL Championship in 13 years, while the shutout set a then-franchise record with two in one postseason . Chicago won the last two games of the series to become only the sixth team in the IHL’s 53-year history to rebound from a 3-games-to-2 deficit in the Finals . Wolves center Alexander Semak walked away with the N .R . ”Bud“ Poile Trophy as the postseason’s most valuable player .

JUNE 5, 2000After a scoreless first period, center Derek Plante notched two goals just 26 seconds apart in the second period to eliminate the Grand Rapids Griffins at Van Andel Arena and capture the Wolves second Turner Cup Championship in three years . With the victory, Chicago became the 16th team in league history to capture multiple IHL championships (1998 and 2000) . Wolves goaltender Andrei Trefilov was awarded the N .R . ”Bud“ Poile Trophy as the Turner Cup Playoffs Most Valuable Player, having led the league during the postseason in both goals-against average (1 .35) and save percentage ( .950) .

JUNE 3, 2002The Wolves clinch their third championship in five years when center Yuri Butsayev scores 2:05 into the second overtime to defeat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 4-3 and capture the Calder Cup Championship, 4-games-to-1, at the Allstate Arena . The Wolves, who played a league-high 105 games, including an all-time AHL-high 25 playoff games, became the sixth team in AHL history to win the championship in their inaugural season . Goaltender Pasi Nurminen was awarded the Jack A . Butterfield Trophy as the playoff MVP, posting a league-leading and then franchise-high 15 wins . Right wing Rob Brown led the league during the postseason with 26 assists and 33 points .

JUNE 10, 2008The Wolves clinched their fourth league title in 11 years and second Calder Cup Championship with a 5-2 victory and a 4-games-to-2 series win over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at Allstate Arena . Center Jason Krog capped a four-point night with a hat trick and an assist, which earned him the Jack A . Butterfield Trophy as the MVP of the 2008 Calder Cup Playoffs . He matched franchise marks with 12 goals and 26 assists in the postseason and established a new club record with 38 points . Rookie goaltender Ondrej Pavelec collected his 16th postseason win, the most in club history and tied for the most in league history during a single postseason .

The Chicago Wolves have never hidden the fact that the organization’s culture is based around winning championships. During an 11-year span from 1997-2008, the Wolves reached the

league Finals six times and skated away with the championship trophy four times. Chicago won the IHL’s

Turner Cup in 1998 and 2000 and the AHL’s Calder Cup in 2002 and 2008. The team also made appearances

in the Finals in 2001 (IHL) and 2005 (AHL). As the team enters its 19th season of competition, we look back at

the four biggest days in franchise history when the Wolves ended their season on top of the mountain.

The Wolves wrap up their Western Conference Semifinal series while Larouche becomes just the second Wolves player to produce a 4-goal game (and the only one to do so in the postseason) .

APRIL 15, 2006The Wolves retire left wing Steve Maltais’ No . 11 jersey . Maltais, who played in each of the team’s first 11 seasons, stands as the franchise’s all-time leader in games (839), goals (454), assists (497), points (951), power-play goals (195), game-winning goals (67), and penalty minutes (1,061) .

APRIL 13, 2007Right wing Darren Haydar learns he has won the Les Cunningham Award as the American Hockey League’s most valuable player for the 2006-07 season . Later in the day, Haydar posts one goal and one assist during a 4-3 shootout win for the Wolves at Milwaukee . He finishes the regular season with a career-high 122 points and earns the John B . Sollenberger Trophy as the AHL’s leading scorer .

APRIL 11, 2008Center Jason Krog earns the Les Cunningham Award as the AHL’s most valuable player . Two days later, Krog wraps up the regular season as just the third player in the AHL’s 76-year history to earn the offensive “triple crown” as he leads the league in goals (39), assists (73), and points (112) .

WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS?

“I keep them in a case in my dresser . I wear them frequently . Not for everyone to comment, but for me . Each time I look at one of the rings on my finger, I realize how fortunate I am .”

I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE I come into contact with these days that, ‘When you dream, be sure to dream big .’ This advice isn’t just for hockey players, but for anyone and everyone .

Growing up in Sault Ste . Marie, Ontario, I always dreamed of playing hockey for the Sault Greyhounds, the best team in our town . I was cocky as a player but I always thought to myself that I always wasn’t good enough for that team . I think if I would have dreamed about being an NHLer and set my goals to becoming a NHL player instead of just playing for the Greyhounds, I think I would have made the NHL quicker .

I think I would have done everything to get to the NHL . I certainly wouldn’t have asked for more money when I was presented my first contract . I would have just taken anything to play in the NHL . I got there eventually, but had I set my goals to reflect my boyhood dreams, I would have been there way earlier in my career .

When I retired from playing, I set my goals and dreams to be a coach in the NHL . I started coaching at Lake Superior State University and then coached in five different pro leagues before I got the head-coaching job of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1988 .

I think a lot of times we as people don’t aim far enough . You have nothing to lose by aiming high . What is the worst thing to happen, you don’t make it? But when you set your sights higher, you stay goal-oriented and you keep reaching for new heights . I see or hear stories of people who just stop in the attempt to reach their goals and get satisfied with a lesser achievement that what they set out to do .

People are dreaming about going somewhere, but are only working with one foot in the job . That won’t help you . Always put two feet into everything you do and keep dreaming about the next step and you will be rewarded .

BornandraisedinthesunnyclimesofSouthernCalifornia,Brett Sterling left home for the first time as a teenager to play with the US Junior National Team in Ann Arbor, Mich . And it wasn’t a very smooth transition .

“It was cold there . Very cold,” Sterling said . “The first time I drove in the snow, I did a full 360-degree turn and my

housing brother and sister were like, ‘Hey, welcome to the snow!’ But I liked it .”

Some unsurprising enthusiasm from a guy who has built a professional career out of overcoming adversity . The Chicago Wolves left wing, who rejoined the team this fall after four productive

seasons between 2006-10, has been called “too small” to be successful in hockey since he was a kid . But as much as others may have been troubled by his size, Sterling never let his 5-foot-7 frame be a distraction, even if it hindered his original plan of playing goalie .

“It sounds like a cop-out answer, but I’ve been with him for so long and he’s a consummate professional on and off the ice,” Sterling said . “He’s been in my situation . He’s a guy who has put up really prolific AHL numbers, but hasn’t had a lot of chances in the NHL . I think my career has mirrored his in a lot of ways and so I’ve always looked to him as an example to follow and I see how he’s handled it so well and that’s an important part . There are a lot of great players who don’t make it full-time in the NHL because there are so many factors and it’s about opportunity and timing and those matter as much as anything . Sometimes it just doesn’t work out the way maybe it should .”

Sterling has had to deal with getting just a taste of the NHL over the years without ever finding a permanent home . He has spent time with the Thrashers, Pittsburgh Penguins and St . Louis Blues, appearing in 30 total games and notching nine points . And while his approach to each callup has morphed over time, he has learned to remind himself hockey is still hockey wherever it’s played .

“Based on what role you’re being asked to play, you’re going to go into each situation differently,” he said . “When I went up to Pittsburgh they had so many injuries that I was playing on the first and second line and on the power play . When I was up in St . Louis I was a fourth-line guy playing limited minutes and it was more like, focus on the defensive game, be accountable, get the puck out of the zone, because that’s what they’re looking for . My first couple years I didn’t get that, but as you get older you come to realize hockey is the same game regardless of where you are and whatever role you’re being put into, you have to accept .”

Playing his role is one thing . Coming to grips with being held out of play altogether because of injury, as he was for much of this season’s second half, was a different story . Suffering a groin pull in

GOAL istodispelthatnotion&p r o v e people w r o n g

”

Having been picked by the Atlanta Thrashers 145th in the 2003 entry draft, Sterling completed his college career and suited up for the first time with the Wolves in 2006, quickly working his way onto the franchise’s most unforgettable line .

“It’s weird to say, but I was fortunate not to score a goal the first three games of my rookie season and to be a healthy scratch my fourth game,” he said . “Luckily at that time, head coach John Anderson was switching lines if we lost . We lost that fourth game, and he switched the lines, and I ended up with Jason Krog and Darren Haydar . It was a line that complemented us all so well . They were so dangerous together already and I was the rookie, no one knew who I was, so they took all the attention and left me on the back side to score . It was a really fun year for us .”

Haydar and Sterling have played many games side-by-side since and while both have grown on and off the ice over the years, Haydar fondly remembers the eager young rookie committed to holding his own .

“It was a good situation for

us all because Brett listened to us and took our advice and made himself better,” Haydar said . “He didn’t come in as a top guy but he worked really hard and worked his way onto that line with Jason and I and he had a fantastic year .”

And then some . At the end of his rookie season, Sterling amassed 55 goals and 97 points in 77 games and tacked on 12 more points in 15 playoff appearances . That was enough to earn him the Dudley “Red” Garrett Memorial Trophy as the American Hockey League’s Rookie of the Year and the Willie Marshall Award as the league’s leading scorer .

“Those awards mean a lot to me,” he said . “There can only be one leading goal-scorer and only one Rookie of the Year and you only get one shot at that . It shows I was able to produce my first year and speaks to the type of player I am . I also hope it meant a lot to Darren and Jason, who were a huge part of why I did what I did . It was a fun year and a fun situation and it really set my career up . All I can do is control what’s around me and do the best I can and that’s what these guys really taught me . They are unbelievable players .”

The impact of playing with them was so immense that Sterling still points to Haydar as the teammate who has affected him most – in hockey and in life .

“I was too short to stand up in goal equipment when I started playing, so I switched to forward,” he said . “My height has never affected me mentally, although I’m sure it has affected a lot of other people, whether it was coaches, management or other players . When you’re a smaller guy, people are going to assume you can’t do certain things or that they can take advantage of you in certain ways . My goal is to dispel that notion and to prove people wrong; hopefully in a big way .”

He got off to a good start – in a big way - at Colorado College . During his collegiate tenure, Sterling had prolific success, accumulating 108 goals and 184 points in 150 games, leading Colorado in scoring three of his four seasons and earning a nomination for the Hobey Baker Award as a junior – a first for a California native .

“College was a great experience all around . But for me, the best part was making the Frozen Four my junior season,” he said . “Unfortunately we lost to Denver in the semifinals, but all my years there we had unbelievable teams . We were slated to be the No . 1 team in the country at times and when you get those chances to play great teams, it makes for a lot of great memories . Being a finalist for the Hobey Baker, that was great for me personally, but to see my teammate Marty Sertich win it was a special experience for me to share with him .”

January, Sterling was about to come back in February when a setback put him in rehab mode again .

“That injury was the most frustrating thing to happen in my career . Getting sent down and all that stuff, it doesn’t compare to injury because it’s something so slow that you have no control over,” he said . “You can do everything you want to make your body heal; you can rehab, but you can’t speed it up . Watching the guys go out there every night was very difficult to watch . Being injured, the thing I looked forward to most is scoring that first goal and hopefully that it’s sooner rather than later .”

But Sterling has never relied on hope . Determined to light the lamp as soon as possible upon his return, he did just that right out of the gate on March 22, scoring

not one but two markers and leading the Wolves to victory . He added a hat trick on March 29 . Haydar, who assisted on the hat trick goals, was sure his long-time line mate would fall right back into the swing of things .

“Brett’s a great player . He’s a great finisher and a great teammate,” he said . “He gets the job done and he gets under the skin of opponents, so he’s a great guy to have on your team and he knows where to be out on the ice .”

Where he wants to be off the ice though, when his playing days eventually come to an end, is a different story . As much as Sterling loves the game, he’s not sure he’d follow in the footsteps of Wolves assistant coach Nolan Baumgartner and jump right behind the bench .

“I got my degree at Colorado in Economics, so

my next career would be something in business,” he said . “I’d like to stay in touch with sports for sure on some level, but I don’t think I’d be a coach . It would maybe be something else in the sports world though . Still, as long as my body holds out, or my wife doesn’t kill me, I want to be a player . I think I have a bunch more years left in this body .”

Sterling and his wife Lizzy tied the knot last summer and have made a permanent home in her native Chicago for the offseason months . But for now, Sterling says his wife handles the nomadic hockey life as well as anyone .

“She’s so great,” he said . “I kind of put my life on hold to a certain degree for hockey and she has had to make a lot of sacrifices, too, so I’ve made it very clear to her that when I’m done playing it won’t be the moving anymore or the

long hours, which is why I don’t want to go into coaching, and it’s going to be more of a focus on her . I’ll do more of the sacrificing and return the favor . Whatever she wants to do, that’s what we’ll do .”

Until then, Sterling will continue to embrace the job he has . Some thirteen years after he left home for Michigan and kick started his future career, Sterling’s goal song may be “California Love” but he will ride the wave wherever it takes him from here .

“I love the camaraderie of this game, being around the guys, and coming to the rink with 25 friends to laugh and joke with,” he said . “I love scoring goals and the competition behind it . That’s what I’ll miss most when I’m done .”

Brett Sterling started to get into bow ties when he had to wear a tux to a black-tie event . At the time he bought the tux, he had a broken finger and couldn’t tie his tie, so Lizzy, his wife, did it for him . Thus, the bow tie trend began .

“I don’t like to say she [Lizzy] is my stylist, but in reality, she is .” In his wedding, all of the groomsmen and ushers wore different-

colored socks .Given he has to wear a suit all the time with hockey, Sterling

WHEN DAN SNYDER, THE FORMER CHICAGO WOLVES AND ATLANTA THRASHERS FORWARD, died on October 5, 2003, he left behind a legacy not just in hockey but also as an active community member . Wolves forward Michael Davies, this year’s recipient of the Dan Snyder Man of the Year Award, strives to embody the same generous spirit .

“I was shocked at first when I heard I was getting this award,” Davies said . “I know how much this means to the organization and there are so many other guys who do great community service . It’s a really big honor and it’s great to be thought of that way, of someone who deserves this recognition . I’m thrilled .”

When Wolves Senior Vice President of Operations Courtney Mahoney contemplated who deserved the award this season, she fell on Davies for several reasons, but mostly because of the biggest parallel she sees between him and Snyder .

“Mike has this zest for life,” Mahoney said . “He’s had kind of an up-and-down year with playing time, but no matter what he never loses that zest and it’s so reminiscent of Dan Snyder and that’s why he’s perfect to receive this honor . It’s more than just the community involvement . I can call Mike for anything and he’ll do it and he’s amazing . He’s a happy guy and he has such a love of the game that makes him a fantastic ambassador for our team .”

One of the community activities Mahoney points to as a Davies favorite is his hospital visits . Turns out, he’s been doing them for a while .

“At the University of Wisconsin (from 2006-10), we did hospital visits and I always really enjoyed those the most,” he

said . “There’s so much joy there . Any time you do something with little kids, it’s great . You just walk in the room and their eyes light up . They look up to you and that means a lot . I love helping out when I can .”

Chicago captain Darren Haydar, last year’s award recipient, says Davies is just as good a guy to sit next to in the locker room as he is at a charity event .

“Mike’s really the ultimate teammate,” Haydar said . “He works really hard on the ice and he’s always great to be around and just keeps working hard all the time . And he’s a really funny guy . Mike’s just fun .”

As easygoing as he tries to be, Davies is well aware of how

precious his days are, and how quickly they can be taken away . It’s that attitude that propels him to enjoy each one .

“No matter what, I always just think, ‘I’m playing hockey,’” he said . “I have a friend who had to retire from hockey because he fractured his skull . The game was taken from him because he got a skate in the head and when you can’t play, you realize how important it is to just live every day with as much energy as you can and enjoy it . I play every game like it’s my last .”

Touching on Snyder and the way he’s remembered today, Davies would like to be thought of in the same vein, as someone always willing to go the extra mile .

“Personally, I’m a guy who is going to give 110 percent, whether it’s with charity work or hockey,” he said . “I’m always positive and keep a positive outlook and no matter what I do, I’m going to give it my all .”

YEAR IN REVIEW

FEBRUARY 16The Wolves host a banner-raising ceremony in recognition of general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, who captured four league titles in 12 years as the head of Chicago’s hockey operations . Cheveldayoff – now general manager of the National Hockey League’s Winnipeg Jets – amassed 649 career victories with the Wolves, which included 544 regular-season wins and 105 postseason victories .

FEBRUARY 13The Wolves become the second-fastest franchise – and 22nd overall – in the 77-year history of the American Hockey League to reach the 500-win plateau with their 3-0 shutout victory over Peoria at Carver Arena . Chicago needed just 925 regular-season tilts to earn its 500th win, 10 contests more than the Hartford Wolf Pack .

MARCH 5Left wing Bill Sweatt scores the franchise’s 5,000th goal at the 2:27 mark of the second period in a game at Texas . Forwards Darren Archibald and Michael Davies add second-period markers to help lead Chicago to a 4-3 victory over the Stars in suburban Austin, Texas .

JANUARY 16Goaltender Matt Climie holds Texas scoreless for the first 58:02 of the game to pass Kari Lehtonen and establish a franchise record for longest shutout streak by a goalie at 173:57 . His scoreless streak spans three different contests and begins on at 4:05 of the first period on Jan . 11 in Abbotsford . Lehtonen’s streak of 170:54 stood since November 2004 .

JANUARY 16Left wing Brett Sterling bags two goals against Texas to surpass Rob Brown and move into second place on the Wolves all-time goal register . Sterling, just the third player in franchise history to crack the 150-goal plateau, scored 163 goals in 291 career games in a Chicago sweater through games of March 31 .

Mrs. T’s Serves Up Smilesat Home and During the Game!

Enjoy the Pierogy Shuffle.

Icing is when a player on his team’s side of the red center line shoots the puck all the way down the ice and it crosses the red goal line at any point (other than the goal) . Icing is not permitted when teams are at equal strength or on the power play . When this occurs, play is stopped and the puck is returned to the other end of the ice for a faceoff in the offending team’s zone . Icing the puck is not called:

> If the goalie leaves the crease to play the puck, even if he does not touch the puck .

> If an official rules an opposing player could have played the puck before it crossed the red goal line .

> An official may wave off the icing call if he deems it was an attempted pass .

A shot on goal is a shot that would enter the goal if it is not stopped by the goaltender . A shot on goal must result in either a goal or a save .

Penalties are classified into three categories: minor, major and misconduct . For a minor penalty, players are required to serve two minutes in the penalty box while their team plays short-handed . A minor penalty will expire if the opposing team scores while on the power play . Major penalties require a player to serve five minutes in the penalty box and only expire at the end of that time . Misconduct penalties vary in length .

A team is on the power play when one team has more players on the ice than the other team because a player is serving a penalty . Conversely, the team with fewer players is on the penalty kill .

A team is offside when any member of the attacking team precedes the puck over the defending team’s blueline . The position of the player’s skate — and not that of his stick — is the determining factor . If both skates are over the blueline before the puck, the player is offside . If he has only one skate over the blueline and one on it, he is onside .

Any regular-season game that ends regulation play with a tie score will go into a five-minute sudden-death overtime period . If at the end of that overtime period the game remains tied, the game will then go into a shootout . During the playoffs, there will not be a shootout and overtime periods will be 20 minutes in length .

Any regular-season game that ends overtime play with a tie score will go into a shootout . A shootout is a series of penalty shots in which each team is allowed five attempts to score in alternating fashion . If after five attempts the teams remain tied, the shootout will continue to alternate shots until one team fails to match the attempt of the other . The winner of the shootout will be awarded one goal .

LEADING AFTER THE SECOND PERIODLast season the Wolves won 89 percent of games in which they were leading after two periods .

PENALTY KILLLast season the Wolves won 58 percent of games in which they did not allow the opposing team to score a power-play goal .

POWER PLAYLast season the Wolves won 66 .7 percent of games in which they scored at least one power-play goal and 64 percent of games when they scored two or more .

SCORING FIRSTLast season the Wolves won 72 percent of games in which they scored the first goal . SHOTS ON GOALLast season, the Wolves outshot their opponents in 48 of their 76 regular-season games, and won 28 of those games (28-14-4-2) .

DARREN ARCHIBALD

NOT EVERYONE CAN SAY BOREDOM IN THE CLASSROOM led to a meaningful, permanent piece of art . Wolves forward Darren Archibald isn’t everyone .

“One day in high school, when I was about 16, I was bored at school and I drew up the design for a tattoo I wanted to get,” Archibald said . “I kept that piece of paper and thought I’d get it done one day . During my first year of junior hockey with the Barrie Colts, when I was 18, I had the money saved up and went and got it .”

That’s not to say he was particularly patient about the waiting process .

“I wasn’t old enough initially to get it done even though I wanted to but there was no way my mom would have taken me and given me permission to get it early,” he said . “Once I was in Barrie, though, I had the go-ahead . It only took a couple hours to get it on there and I actually was so relaxed I almost fell asleep lying there . No pain .”

The ink, a nod to both Archibald’s Canadian homeland and his love of hockey, was strategically placed on his right shoulder so it would be easy to cover, something he says is “standard” for most guys .

“You want to make sure it’s somewhere you can hide if you want to,” he said . “My design was basically a standard Canadian leaf, but with kind of dull edges, not like the sharp ones on the Canadian flag . You can tell it’s been drawn freehand, for sure . I threw some hockey sticks over the leaf and a hockey puck, plus my name and birth year . It’s pretty straightforward .”

Simple as it is, the meaning it holds for Archibald is huge .“I wanted to get something that had a purpose to me and

my life,” he said . “Hockey is my No . 1 passion and I put the leaf in there because that represents where I’m from . So it brings all of me together nicely .”

It’s that sentimental value for the art that kept mom from going off on her oldest child when he revealed his decision to get inked .

“She hates tattoos normally, but she knew this meant something to me and she knew I had it drawn up for awhile . It wasn’t like I was going through a phase where I just wanted a tattoo,” he said . “I told her beforehand so it wasn’t a surprise . She wasn’t happy about it, but she wasn’t angry . She just looked the other way .”

If Archibald has his way, he’ll have another tattoo to embrace at the end of the season – one she helped inspire .

“Right now I’m thinking about getting another, this time of a sword with two roses wrapped around it,” he said . “The sword would represent my dad and the roses my mom and younger sister .”

Just don’t expect him to flex his artistic muscles again on this piece .

“That design is a little trickier than my original one,” he said . “I might have to get someone to take over the designing part for me .”

BEHIND THE INK

“I WANTED TO GET SOMETHING THAT HAD A PURPOSE TO ME AND MY LIFE.”
