The first American Hockey League game in the history of the state of Colorado is upon us, and its date was announced on Tuesday.
On October 5, 2018, the Colorado Eagles will host the Chicago Wolves at 7:05 p.m. MT in Loveland’s Budweiser Events Center. This matchup will be the Eagles’ opening night game in their inaugural season. The Eagles were granted the right to be the AHL’s newest expansion team last October.
The NHL and AHL again have a 1:1 affiliate ratio after the St. Louis Blues and Vegas Golden Knights had to share the roster of the Wolves last season.
