Pack Disappointment

After numerous rumors throughout the pause, the league has cancelled the 2020-2021 season. President and CEO Dave Andrews commented the league had a slim chance for the 2020 Calder Cup Playoffs. The Wolf Pack would have snapped a four year playoff drought if the season resumed. For fans in Hartford, this season was a heart breaker as no one anticipated an unfinished season.

“I don’t really see, at this point, how we would get the Calder Cup Playoffs in but we have the option still open and we’re going to re-visit it in May.”
