HARTFORD, CT – The Hartford Wolf Pack was recognized for five achievements during the 2024 AHL Team Business Meetings in late June. The annual event was held in Rosemont, IL.
Additionally, the organization was recognized at the 2024 AHL Board of Governors’ Meeting last Thursday night during the annual Award Gala in Hilton Head, SC, as part of the Team Business Services program.
The organization saw a record-breaking season off the ice.
At the annual Team Business Meetings, the Wolf Pack’s corporate sales department was recognized for seeing a greater than 90% renewal rate in corporate cash and 20% growth in corporate cash during the 2023-24 season.
The organization welcomed an average of 5,456 fans to the XL Center in downtown Hartford throughout 36 regular season games during the 2023-24 campaign, the highest average attendance in over two decades. That resulted in being recognized for 20% growth in per-game group ticket revenue.
On the full-season side, the Wolf Pack was recognized for a 90% renewal rate among full-season tickets and a 20% increase in per-game FSE revenue.
As part of that achievement, the Wolf Pack was recognized at the 2024 AHL Board of Governors’ Meeting for the top revenue growth in season-ticket sales revenue for the AHL’s Eastern Conference.
Individually, Wolf Pack Hockey Development Coordinator Mick Arena was named the Eastern Conference’s ‘Group Sales Rookie of the Year’. This award is presented to the sales executive with the most group ticket revenue during the 2023-24 season.
The Wolf Pack will open the home portion of their 2024-25 schedule on Friday, October 18th, at the XL Center! The puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. when the Springfield Thunderbirds come to town for the ‘I-91 Rivalry’.
