The Hershey Bears are a professional ice hockey team playing as part of the American Hockey League. They have been affiliated with their parent team of the National Hockey League team the

Washington Capitals

since 2005. Their history on the ice stretches well before that though since they have been a professional team since 1938 at which time they were affiliated with the

Boston Bruins

. Today, the massive popularity of the Hershey Bears amongst area hockey fans has led to Hershey, Pennsylvania, being called the best minor-league hockey town in America. Going to Bears games is such a part of the local culture in Hershey that season tickets get passed down from generation to generation. The team is so popular that their games often break attendance records. The devotion of their fans is rewarded by the team having regularly made it to the Calder Cup Finals as well as winning multiple championships throughout their history.
