Wolves open 18th season on the road Oct. 8

The Chicago Wolves will open the 2011-12 season against the San Antonio Rampage at the AT&T Center at 7 p.m. on Oct. 8, with the club’s 18th home opener at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 against the Milwaukee Admirals at Allstate Arena in Rosemont.

The team will play 23 of 38 home games on the weekend, which includes 14 Saturday matchups and nine Sunday matinees. The Wolves will battle one new opponent this season: the Charlotte Checkers.

The 2011-12 Wolves schedule also is highlighted by four morning games, including two school-day games, which will take place when the Rockford IceHogs visit the Allstate Arena on Jan. 11, and against the Houston Aeros on Feb. 7.

For the ninth straight year, the Wolves will broadcast regular-season games — and all playoff contests — live on cable television. A complete broadcast schedule will be announced soon.
