The AHL is league of professional hockey clubs one level below the NHL (think AAA baseball). The games are extremely high quality, as much of this league is made up of men still fighting to reach their dream of playing in the NHL. They play hard and with much heart. At the same time, you can see these games and root for the home team at family friendly pricing.
This past Saturday the entire Weasel Family was invited to a special social media event to attend a Wolves game and enjoy all the family friendly fun that surrounds it.
Starting 2 hours prior to face-off, the Wolves host a family fun fest (at no charge) for their fans. They have music, kids games, prizes, photo opportunities, face painting and a visit from their mascot, Skates, to entertain children young and old before game time.

After every Saturday night home game the players stop outside the locker room to talk to fans and sign auto graphs. However, at this special event we were lucky enough to meet Wolves forward, Jamie Hunt, during the 2nd period intermission.
