The Wolves completed a perfect season, finishing 13-0! The season culminated earlier this afternoon with a thrilling 12-11 win in game 2 of the championship series over the Kensington Royals. The Wolves collectively would like to thank PAB and commissioner Calvin Washington for eveything they did this summer, as well as the other teams in the league for a competitive, fun season. 

Congratulations to the 2022 Champion Philadelphia Wolves. Many championships will follow, but there will forever only be one team that can say that they did it first. The champions are listed below.

A special congratulations to David Fred Jr, Rob Grabel, Chris McGuire, Pat Medycki, Joe Mortimer and Geoff Smith; the only 5 players left from the Wolves inaugural season in 2017. Furthermore, we congratulate Pat Medycki, Rob Grabel, Chris McGuire and Joe Mortimer, who were on the 2-22 and 1-23 teams in 2015 an 2016, before the re-brand. This championship must feel pretty sweet for them. As the old saying goes, you must first learn to lose before you learn how to win.

Credit is also due to Luis Rosario, who co-managed in 2017 and 2018. Without him, the Wolves would have been another name, and possibly wouln't have existed.

One more special shoutout to Chuck Benner, Sr. who managed the team (pre-wolves re-brand) from 2013 to 2016. Without him, there quite literally wouldn't have been a team, meaning there wouldn't have been a Wolves inception in 2017.

With this 12-11 win on Sunday, August 14th, 2022, the Wolves' lifetime record is officially over .500 for the first time since the fourth game (win at home vs. Cardinals) of the inagural 2017 season, when they were 2-1-1. The Wolves lifetime record now stands at 44-43-7.
