Chicago Wolves vs. Springfield Thunderbirds: Calder Cup Final Preview
Ryan Warsofsky’s been here before. He’s even been here before on this exact same ice, in front of some of the exact same fans as he’ll be seeing today. Only back in 2019, Warsofsky was behind the visitor’s bench, with Andrew Poturalski, Jesper Sellgren, and Stelio Mattheos all skating out for the Charlotte Checkers. The Checkers faced a Wolves team run by Rocky Thompson and featuring Vegas Golden Knights prospects — a Wolves team that had run out of gas after three physically grueling playoff series.
Warsofsky and the Checkers lifted the Calder Cup on the ice at Allstate Arena back in 2019 while the Wolves had to listen to the festivities from their locker room.
