The Chicago Wolves released their 2013-14 schedule, which features 44 of their 76 regular-season games against Midwest rivals as they return for their 20th season of professional hockey.
The Wolves, now affiliated with the NHL’s St. Louis Blues, will celebrate their home opener on Oct. 12 against San Antonio with a pregame outdoor festival from 2 to 6 p.m. at Allstate Arena in Rosemont. They will open the AHL season on the road at San Antonio on Oct. 4, with the final game of the regular season on April 18 against the Rockford IceHogs, the affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks.
