WOLVES HISTORY

FOUR-TIME CHAMPIONS

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.

98 00 02 08

JUNE 15, 1998

JUNE 5, 2000

JUNE 3, 2002

JUNE 10, 2008

Backed 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.

After 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 goalsagainst average (1.35) and save percentage (.950).

The 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 leaguehigh 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.

The 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 WilkesBarre/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 TRADE THAT TURNED INTO THE 1998 TURNER CUP ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1997, the Chicago Wolves named John Anderson as the fifth head coach in team history after Alpo Suhonen decided not to return due to personal commitments in Europe. The team also named Kevin Cheveldayoff as general manager, and I shifted my role in the organization to director of hockey operations/assistant general manager. The first season under the new regime was going pretty smoothly and we could see we had a bona fide playoff team. But Chevy and I were not convinced we had enough parts to win the championship. So in March of 1998, we were looking to make a trade to acquire those pieces. The Quebec Rafales were a team in the IHL that had just moved from Atlanta in 1996. I had worked with all those people when the team was in Atlanta and I had heard from them that they were going to disband the organization after the 1997-98 season.

So I talked to them about moving a couple players our way and Chevy and myself put together a trade on March 18, 1998, that saw us send rookie forward Dave Paradise, who had only played in 11 games that season, and future considerations to Quebec in exchange for forwards Steve Larouche and Marc Rodgers. Larouche went on to score 19 points in 13 regular-season games that year and then posted nine goals and 20 points during the playoffs to help us win our first Cup. There is no doubt in my mind that we won the 1998 Turner Cup largely in part because we made that trade. Not bad for a hockey-ops department that was in its first year together. Larouche ended up playing another three seasons with us, and he was a big reason we won the 2000 Turner Cup and made the Finals in 2001.

GETTIN’

JIGGY WIT IT BY KRISTEN SHILTON | PHOTOS BY ROSS DETTMAN

SPECIALTY “GETTIN’ JIGGY” T-SHIRT PRINTED BY ONE-HOUR TEES

The Chicago Wolves needed a spark. They needed more power. More scoring. More energy.They needed Darren Archibald.

arren Archibald is living the dream. Fresh from morning practice, he can’t wipe the mile-wide grin off his face. Turns out, that smile’s a permanent fixture on “Archie.” “I’m an easy-going guy,” Archibald said. “I have fun all day. I enjoy everything I’m doing and I’m enjoying this moment. Every little boy’s dream is to play hockey and play in the NHL. I couldn’t be happier. Right now, I’m one step away.” For the 22-year old left wing from Newmarket, Ontario, getting his big break in the American Hockey League was challenge enough. After a brief stint with the Wolves at the beginning of last season, Archibald was sent to the ECHL’s Kalamazoo Wings, returning to the Wolves for only 20 games in February and March. He was back in Wolves camp this summer, but was again assigned to the Wings. But the positive Archibald wasn’t deterred. He knew what was missing. “I had to get the confidence back in my game,” Archibald said. “That’s what the K-Wings were about. I’m more confident as a player now. Last year was my first as a pro. Whether it was nerves or just not being confident, that’s what landed me back in Kalamazoo.” As injuries mounted for the Wolves and the power play unit struggled to find its footing, Archibald was excelling in the ECHL, posting six goals and eight assists in 18 games. When a roster spot in Chicago opened, head coach Scott Arniel knew who should fill it. “A big part of Darren going down to Kalamazoo was so he could play every day,” Arniel said. “I’m real proud of him. His job was to be the best forward down there and he was the best player on that team. He did everything we asked of him and that’s why he got the call up.”

Archibald was back in the line up on Nov. 28 against Rockford. He fit in nicely as a weapon on the power play, creating the kind of traffic in front of the net that led to his first man-advantage goal of the season on Nov. 30 in Milwaukee. “I knew coming in that contributing on the power play was going to be huge,” Archibald said. “I talked to Coach Arniel and he told me to be a bad goalie and just hang out in front of the net and knock in rebounds and force my way in there as much as I can. A few power-play goals later and here I am.”

I’m an easy-going guy. I have fun all day. I enjoy everything I’m doing and I’m enjoying this moment. Finally having arrived, Archibald gets to bask in the amenities that come with professional success – and get used to the ones that don’t. “I wake up every morning at the beautiful Residence Inn in Rosemont, my palace,” he said. “I’m rooming with (goalie) Joe Cannata. I knew him in Kalamazoo so it’s been a smooth transition. I keep him in line. I’ve also been known to step into the kitchen at the hotel. Last year was my first time really being on my own. I always had billets in junior hockey so they prepared meals for me, which was nice. I do just fine though. Stick to the basics – chicken, steak, fish. Lots of veggies. I try to stick to what I know.” But Cannata shouldn’t expect to find a home-cooked meal waiting for him after practice any time soon. “I don’t cook for Joe,” Archibald said. “He cooked for me though the other week. His girlfriend was in town and they made me something. That was nice.”

I’m a big Xbox guy. I’ll play Call of Duty and NHL 2013 all day. That’s pretty standard. Favorite game: Call of duty No. of hours you play per day: four No. of consoles: two Nintendos, Playstation, X-Box. Can you beat Anton Rodin’s girlfriend at Call of Duty? “Why? is she good? I would take her on, for sure.”

The real challenge for Archibald comes post-lunch, when he’s left to his own devices for much of the day. What’s a guy to do after already having worked out, practiced, worked out again and made himself a meal? “I definitely would rather spend most of my time at the rink,” Archibald said. “In the afternoon, there are a lot of mall walks that happen. I watch a lot of movies. I’m a big Xbox guy. I’ll play Call of Duty and NHL 2013 all day. That’s pretty standard.” Also standard? Looking to fellow players for inspiration. Always one of the bigger guys (he’s 6-foot-3), Archibald cites former Philadelphia Flyer Eric Lindros as someone he models his game after (“he’d fight, score goals, do it all”) but says Calgary Flames captain Jerome Iginla is his true hockey hero. “Iginla was my favorite player. He’s a leader on and off the ice,” he said. “I looked up to him and tried to learn from him and what he was doing. He was obviously wellrespected around the league. I’ve never gotten to meet him though. One day I hope.” Archibald knows the power a single day can have. Just two years old when his parents took him to a frozen pond near their home and laced up his first pair of skates, an instant bond to the ice formed. “As soon as those skates were tied up,” Archibald said, “it just felt like such a natural thing. I’ve loved the game ever since. It’s been my whole life.” For him it may have been love at first skate, but the sport hasn’t always gone easy on Archie. His journey to the American Hockey League was littered with struggles and disappointments, although his attitude belies any hardships.

Growing up, there are always people that point at a kid and say ‘he’s never going to make it’ but I just persevered... “Growing up, there are always people that point at a kid and say ‘he’s never going to make it’ but I just persevered through that and kept working harder and didn’t let that affect me too much. I’m just easy-going about it. I go out and do my job. If it’s going to happen, if I’m going to make that jump to the NHL, it’s going to happen. I just keep working hard.” “Arch is the kind of guy who comes to the rink, has fun, enjoys himself and really enjoys being around his teammates,” Arniel said. “But he knows when to get serious and when to put his head down to really work and score the goals we need.” Archibald has cleared enough hurdles in junior and professional hockey to appreciate the value of being an underdog. Cut during his first Ontario Hockey League tryout and forced to play an extra season in Junior A, Archibald eventually fought his way onto the OHL’s Barrie Colts roster and, in his second season, lead them to an Eastern Conference Championship. “That’s still my best memory in hockey, when we won 22 games in a row and won that

championship,” he said. “It was huge. We had a great team that year but we fought hard. It was a great feeling. Unfortunately we lost to the Windsor Spitfires in the Finals, but it really was a great experience and a good run for the boys.” Looking around the league, Archibald sees the same guys he played puck with as a kid finally realizing their own dreams, just as he is. All their successes make Archibald’s journey that much sweeter. “I have come a long way from where I was. And it’s been a really fun trip,” he said. “I look at all these guys around the league that I grew up playing hockey against and now we’re here. It’s great to see. We fought to be here. I have a couple good friends playing all over the place and I like to stay in touch with them and always hope they’re doing well.” Now, so is he. While Archibald went undrafted by the NHL, it’s still where he sees himself eventually.

Until that day comes, the laid-back Canuck just wants to keep the party going. “Playing hockey, it’s just fun,” he said. “I’ve been playing since I was a kid and I go out there every night with my second family. It’s the best players in the world coming together and it’s a true passion for me. You can’t be here without passion for the game. It’s a whole other life out there on the ice. My friends will ask me ‘Oh, don’t you hate living out of a suitcase all year long, you never know where you’re going to be’ but I love it. You get to see all parts of the world. And it’s just so fun.

I would definitely say I’m the ladies’ man of the team. THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THAN HOCKEY. There are also clothes. And, of course, the ladies. “I would definitely say I’m the ladies’ man of the team,” he said, laughing. “How can I not say me?” Archibald’s confidence and self-awareness is as evident in his clothing choices as his personality. “I wouldn’t say my style involves anything too crazy,” he said. “I really like shoes. I have about 20 pairs, everything from sneakers to dress shoes. When I started coming to the U.S. for hockey I would always come home with two new pairs because they’re cheaper here.” On a night out with friends, Archie is apt to rock dark jeans (“I only wear the dark ones”), a button-up shirt and a dapper pair of shoes. “I’ve definitely evolved in what I like

clothes-wise,” he said. “When I was younger, I was into the preppy stuff, the American Eagle, Abercrombie & Finch look. Even with a popped collar or two. Now Banana Republic is my go-to store.” The Will Smith fan (“I like his Twitter feed. I’ve been a fan since “Fresh Prince of BelAir”) has “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” as his ring tone and aspires to Smith’s swag with the ladies too. “I’m single now, but I like having a girlfriend. On a date, I’ll take a girl to the Keg (an upscale steakhouse), but only if she’s a Keg-worthy girl of course,” he said with a laugh. “Little bottle of wine, maybe a walk on the beach after.” All jokes aside though, Archibald hides a little mystery behind his ever-present grin. “Don’t go making me sound like a softie, now.”

IN THE COMMUNITY

WOLVES WIVES PUCKS OSTENSIBLY, THE WOLVES WIVES PUCK FUNDRAISER sounds like a simple premise. During all home games in February, fans can buy autographed pucks for $10. If they unwrap the puck and find an autograph written in gold, then the fan gets to meet that player after the game. If not, then the fan still has a cool souvenir. Either way, Chicago Wolves Charities benefits from the transaction. But as with so many of the team’s charitable traditions, the Wolves Wives Puck Fundraiser does just as much to raise everyone’s spirits as it does to raise money for worthy causes. Take Sara Haydar, for example. This is the fifth season the wife of Wolves captain Darren Haydar has been a part of this

significant other – and the kids definitely have the best reaction when they get a gold autograph. Little boys, especially, their smiles get so big because they get to meet the people they want to be like someday.” The rewards aren’t limited to the fans. Because it’s not always easy to be the wife or girlfriend of a professional athlete – when your identity and career prospects are so intertwined with the player and there’s a good chance you’re part of a franchise hundreds of miles away from your home – opportunities to help the team are welcomed eagerly. Haydar and Matheson missed the opportunity to do such fundraisers at other American Hockey League stops.

... THEIR SMILES GET SO BIG BECAUSE THEY GET TO MEET THE [PLAYERS] THEY WANT TO BE LIKE SOMEDAY. –MACKENZIE MATHESON, #25 MARK MATHESON’S WIFE

production. During each game this month, fans can find Sara (and each of the Wolves players’ wives and girlfriends) selling pucks at one of the special stands set up throughout Allstate Arena’s concourse. This is when the fundraiser becomes much more like a family reunion than a matter-of-fact transaction. “I get to catch up with people,” Sara Haydar said. “I’ll see people who’ve gone from being boyfriend/girlfriend when I first saw them buying pucks, to being married, to bringing their two kids to the game. It’s kind of cool.” Just as Sara has seen these fans’ lives evolve, they’ve watched her life change and grow. When she and Darren became engaged, they asked to see her ring. When Sara battled cancer, they expressed their concern. When she defeated Stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, they celebrated with her. “Funny fans will ask for our autographs,” said Mackenzie Matheson, the wife of defenseman Mark Matheson. “It’s definitely fun when you see someone get the autograph of your

“It’s a different kind of involvement,” Matheson said. “The girls know how much it helps the Wolves and the community. This is a chance to socialize with the fans and be a part of Chicago Wolves Charities. It’s rewarding.” The process started with a day-long puck-wrapping session in January at the Wolves offices in Glenview. The wives and girlfriends needed to prepare 2,000 pucks to handle the demand at this month’s seven home games. There was music and laughs and lunch in their conference room, but also earnest labor. “We did it like an assembly line,” Haydar said. “Courtney (Mahoney, the team’s senior vice president of operations) and her staff make it so easy on us. The cellophane is cut in the proper dimensions and the ribbons are ready. But it’s a bonding experience. We’re so happy to be involved in it. “The fans are more than happy to give. They’re happy to get the pucks, but happy to donate to the charities too.”

HERE’S TO CHEVY

WE ARE FAMILY KEVIN CHEVELDAYOFF WON FOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS in his 12-year tenure as the Chicago Wolves general manager, but looking back, it’s what he gained off the ice that mattered most. “The Wolves are my family,” said Cheveldayoff, who’s in his second year as general manager of the Winnipeg Jets. “My wife and kids grew up cheering for the Wolves with the crest on their jerseys for a good portion of their lives. Those memories come back immediately. Chicago is where my hockey management career really started and I’ll forever be indebted and grateful to (Owner) Don Levin and (Vice Chairman) Buddy Meyers for the opportunity.” Returning to the Wolves for a banner-raising ceremony on February 16, the man affectionately known as “Chevy” is humbled by the honor given to him by the organization he grew up in.

“Don and I have evolved in our relationship over the years. He’s a father figure to me but there’s a great friendship there as well,” Cheveldayoff said. “We always come back to our shared passion and vision and the pride that comes from putting together an organization like the Wolves. With Buddy, there are great family memories. Every summer we’d go to Buddy’s house on Lake Michigan. Those relationships don’t happen all the time in the sports world, but it helped us achieve our ultimate goals.” “Kevin Cheveldayoff is brilliant,” Levin said. “He might be the smartest hockey guy I’ve ever met. When we hired him, he was 27 years old. He was a kid. But look at his record, he’d already won at Salt Lake City (as assistant head coach of the Utah Grizzlies). He was very smart and very personable.” Another member of the Wolves pack Cheveldayoff stays close to is Director of Hockey Operations Gene Ubriaco. One of their first conversations still resonates 15 years later. “Gene took me to lunch early on,” Cheveldayoff said, “and basically told me, ‘Chevy, I’ve done a lot of things in this game, I’ve made plenty of mistakes and my job now is to make sure you learn from those mistakes I made and together we’re going to build this franchise.’ There’s not a more loyal or genuine person in the game than Gene Ubriaco.

THOSE RELATIONSHIPS DON’T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME IN THE SPORTS WORLD, BUT IT HELPED US ACHIEVE OUR ULTIMATE GOALS. – KEVIN CHEVELDAYOFF

5Gene Ubriaco, Mike Nardella, Don Levin and Kevin Cheveldayoff pose with the 2008 Calder Cup – the fourth championship the Wolves won with Cheveldayoff as general manager.

“This is very exciting for me,” Cheveldayoff said. “I learned so much there from so many people. I remember I had unique relationships with different fans over the years too. Just walking from the dressing rooms to the suites, I’d have my little rituals with people on the concourse, talking and laughing. Fans would give me their take on what the team needed.” Spending so many years with the Wolves gave Cheveldayoff an inside look at what makes the team tick, and what sets it apart from other organizations around the American Hockey League. “I love the Wolves because they truly care about the fans and really have from day one,” he said. “That’s because of people like (VP of Business Operations) Courtney Mahoney. The job she does in the community makes you realize you don’t become a premiere franchise by chance and you don’t survive in a market like Chicago by chance. That’s why the Wolves are what they are; it’s what makes them a special team.” For Chevy though, it’s the people that made his years in Chicago so impactful on the rest of his career – and his life. He remains close to Levin and Meyers even now.

Along with head coach John Anderson (“a great person I was so fortunate to work with”) and advisors like Mike Nardella (“he’s really the godfather of hockey”), Cheveldayoff helped the Wolves win plenty of games, but trophies were never as important as the satisfaction of knowing he’d made his mentors proud. “There were a lot of tough decisions that had to be made with the Wolves,” he said. “Anyone who knows Don and Buddy knows how competitive they are. It’s hard to look into the eyes of the people you work for and know you’ve fallen short. But it’s so rewarding to look in their eyes after winning a championship. There is no more ultimate feeling than that. It wasn’t just me. It’s not just any one person. There are so many factors. And I’m grateful just to be going back.”

HOCKEY 101

HOCKEY RULES ICING THE PUCK

POWER PLAYS / PENALTY KILL

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.

SHOT ON GOAL 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 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.

OFFSIDES 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.

OVERTIME 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.

SHOOTOUT 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.

EDDIE LACK

BEHIND THE INK HOW MANY MEANINGFUL ELEMENTS can fit into one tattoo? Chicago Wolves goaltender Eddie Lack took a run at the record with his first piece of ink. “I had wanted to get a tattoo for awhile,” he said. “I wanted to do something special and that had a significance.” While playing with the Manitoba Moose in Winnipeg two years ago, Lack settled on a right forearm tattoo honoring his parents. Their birth dates are written in between the words “love” and “strength.” “My mom and dad have always been there for me, so I centered the tattoo around their birthdates,” Lack said. “I wanted to do something more, though, and I came up with ‘love’ and ‘strength’ because that’s what I feel they give me.” And while some parents don’t approve of their offspring’s body art, the Lacks embraced their son’s tattoo – and even got a couple of their own for their only child. “They both got one right after me,” he said. “My mom got one with a heart that says ‘Eddie’ and my dad has one with my name too.” Since tattoos have started running in the family, is the netminder eager to add to his collection?

“MY MOM GOT ONE WITH A HEART THAT SAYS ‘EDDIE’ AND MY DAD HAS ONE WITH MY NAME TOO.” “I’m not really itching for more but I’m thinking about another one,” he said. “I have the spot picked out around my ribs, but I haven’t figured out what I’m getting. There’s no rush. I can take my time.” That is, if he doesn’t win something big sometime soon. Teams who earn championships together sometimes commemorate the event with more than just champagne. Matching tattoos isn’t necessarily something Lack would shy away from. “I haven’t won anything really big in hockey yet,” he said. “So I think if I were in that moment, and had won a big championship, I’d think about it and hopefully I’d make the right choice. I’d just be so happy. You never know what you might do then.”

5Eddie Lack’s tattoo features the Chinese symbols for love and strength as well as his parents’ birthdates.
