The Hartford Wolf Pack, the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the New York Rangers, recently announced that they will be re-branding themselves as the Connecticut Whale.  At their opening exhibition match against the Albany Devils at the Koeppel Community Sports Center at Trinity College on Wednesday, September 29, the team unveiled their new logo, pictured above.  The team and Trinity College have a strong relationship after partnering on The Ryan Gordon/Hartford Wolf Pack Community Scholars Fund, a permanent fund providing scholarships to Hartford children so that they can enroll in the Learn to Play Ice Hockey Programs at Trinity’s Koeppel Community Sports Center.  For more on the unveiling of the logo, visit: http://www.courant.com/sports/hockey/hc-wolf-pack-0930-20100929,0,5117455.story.
