Bears Clinch Berth in 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs

April 15, 2026

The Hershey Bears have clinched a berth in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs as they'll head to the postseason for the 73rd time in the franchise's history. 

With Hershey's 5-1 win today at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, combined with Lehigh Valley's 7-1 loss to Springfield, Hershey has guaranteed a spot among the six teams that qualify for the playoffs in the Atlantic Division. 

Under the direction of first-year head coach Derek King, Hershey has a 31-30-6-3 record and currently sits in fifth place in the Atlantic Division. With two games left in the regular season, Hershey can finish anywhere from fourth to sixth place in the division.

The Bears have won the Calder Cup 13-times and are the AHL's most decorated franchise, claiming championships most recently in 2023 and 2024.
