The drive for the Calder Cup is on.
The American Hockey League playoffs will once again feature 23 teams fighting it out to take home the trophy, and a new champion is guaranteed in 2026. A year after winning their first AHL championship, the Abbotsford Canucks failed to make the playoffs this time around.
The race for the title appears wide open, as none of the four No. 1 seeds reached the conference finals. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Toronto, Chicago and Colorado are the final four teams standing to play for the Cup.
Who will hoist the trophy in 2026? Here's everything you need to know to watch every game.
