Chelios, 47, leads all American-born players with 1,644 career NHL games, and he has racked up 948 points and 2,891 penalty minutes with the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings.
"It is an honor for us to have him," Wolves general manager Wendell Young said. "We are very excited to have someone of Chris' stature join our team. He will be an excellent example for our young players to watch, both on and off the ice."
