A Look Back at the 2000 Calder Cup Champion Wolf Pack

It’s June 4th, 2000 at Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial in Rochester, NY. The Hartford Wolf Pack have just beaten the Rochester Americans 4-1 in game 6 of the Calder Cup Finals to secure the franchise’s first Calder Cup championship and the first professional title for Connecticut’s capital city. On April 10th, the Wolf Pack were to honor the 2000 Calder Cup Champions during their home finale for the 2019-20 season as part of Fan Appreciation Night. With the outbreak of COVID-19 having different plans, this reunion and celebration never took place at a time when the Hartford Wolf Pack had seen a resurgence in play and emphasis being once again placed on a winning atmosphere mixed with development of top New York Rangers prospects.
