As the Hershey Bears get their first opportunity to clinch the Calder Cup for the second consecutive season, they're also already on the docket for a few key league events next season.
First things first: the Bears beat the Dallas Stars for a third straight time, 2-1 (OT), after Alexandre Giroux scored the game-winner. Michal Neuvirth, who might be with the Caps all of next season, has been superb for the second straight season with the Bears.
Next season, the AHL's 75th, will begin in part with a set of home-and-home games between the Bears and Rochester Americans on Oct. 10 and Oct. 16. The rest of the AHL's "original six" -- Providence Bruins, Springfield Falcons, Lake Erie Monsters and Syracuse Crunch -- also will participate (Providence plays Springfield and Lake Erie plays Syracuse).
Then, on Jan. 30-31, Hershey's Giant Center will host the AHL all-star game.
Note: While the NHL schedule is about a week away from its release, the Caps have announced a few key dates of their own, including the second annual Caps Convention.
