History

[edit]

The Western Michigan Wolves were added as an expansion team to the North American Junior Hockey League in 1988. After their first season, the team reached an affiliation agreement with the Kalamazoo Wings and rebranded as the 'Kalamazoo Jr. Wings'. The Jr. Wings were a very successful club during their five year existence and won the Robertson Cup in the 1991 and 1993.[1] The franchise was purchased by rock promoter Jay Goldberg and then relocated to Danville, Illinois after the 1993–94 season.
