HARTFORD, August 22, 2014: Global Spectrum, operators of the XL Center and Hartford Wolf Pack, today announced the 2014-15 Wolf Pack preseason schedule.
The Wolf Pack will play a total of four preseason contests, with three of the four being home games in local venues. The slate begins with a battle against the Albany Devils Wednesday, October 1 at Champions Skating Center, located at 6 Progress Dr. in Cromwell, CT. Faceoff for the exhibition opener is 7:00 PM and admission is $5. Admission proceeds will go to acquiring ice skates for use at the wintertime outdoor skating rink in Hartford’s Bushnell Park. Also, Champions Skating Center will be accepting donations of used skates of all sizes for the outdoor rink.
The next night, Thursday, October 2, the Wolf Pack will host the Worcester Sharks at the TD Bank Sports Center at Quinnipiac University, with faceoff at 7:00.

That game will take place at Trinity College’s Koeppel Community Sports Center, facing off at 7:00. Donations will be accepted at the door in lieu of an admission charge, benefitting the Ryan Gordon/Hartford Wolf Pack Community Scholars Fund.
