AHL Calder Cup

The Chicago Wolves won the Calder Cup for 2007-2008 as champions of the American Hockey League. The AHL is the level just below the NHL, and is a stepping stone for scores of NHL Stars. The Calder Cup is to the AHL what the Stanley Cup is to the NHL.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calder_Cup

Everyone on the Wolves gets their day with the trophy, much like NHL'ers get a day with Lord Stanley's Cup.

I was lucky enough to have one of the Wolves invite me over for his day...I had to work until 10PM so only caught the last couple hours...but it was long enough to get to hang with the Cup.



I had a hockey player's dream trip in 1996 to Montreal for Game 3 of the World Cup, I will post a couple of those picks and tell a couple of those stories later in the week.

Re: AHL Calder Cup

I thought it is bad luck to touch it until you win it? or is that just for Stanley Cup?

Players won't touch it until they win it.....guys who can never win it can do all they want with it. At my age and talent level, I coulda bathed in it easier than I could win it.

Surely I'm not the only one who thought there was going to be a Memorial Cup deja vu after seeing that first photo, right?

LOL.
