The Chicago Freeze were a Junior "A" team in Geneva, Illinois. They played in the North American Hockey League from 1997 to 2003.
They moved to Illinois from Fraser, Michigan where they were known as the Detroit Freeze. The team was renamed from the Detroit Jr. Wings when the Ontario Hockey League's Detroit Compuware Ambassadors were renamed the Detroit Jr. Wings in 1992
The Freeze played in the Fox Valley Ice Arena.
In 2003 they folded due to financial pressure. Their revenue was low and they were spending more than $25,000 per player per season.
