The Hershey Bears clinched the American Hockey League's 2024-25 Atlantic Division championship after Hershey defeated the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 4-2 Friday night at GIANT Center.
The victory secured Hershey's 20th regular-season division title in franchise history. The Bears have previously claimed regular-season division championships in 1938-39, 1943-44, 1946-47, 1951-52, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1975-76, 1980-81, 1985-86, 1987-88, 1993-94, 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2020-21, and 2023-24. Hershey also earned two first-place finishes in the 1942-43 and 1957-58 campaigns, when the AHL was not separated by divisional alignment.
The Bears are assured of home-ice advantage for both the Atlantic Division Semifinals and Atlantic Division Finals - both of which will be a best-of-five series - after previously securing a first-round bye for the 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Information regarding Hershey's opponent, game dates, and times for the Atlantic Division Semifinals will be announced at a later date.
The Bears continue the 2024-25 regular season, presented by Penn State Health, when they host the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Saturday, April 19 at 7 p.m. at GIANT Center for Fan Appreciation Night. Purchase tickets for the game by CLICKING HERE.
