Sudbury Wolves News Release
GREATER SUDBURY, ON - The Sudbury Wolves are pleased to announce that four players have committed to the hockey club following this past weekend's Orientation Camp.
Defenceman Ivan Belikov, along with forwards Patrik Ula, Colton Colby, and Norman Greene, have officially signed commitments to join the organization.
Selected 25th overall in the 2026 OHL Priority Selection, 6'4" right-shot defenceman Ivan Belikov becomes the first player from the 2026 draft class to sign with the Wolves. General Manager Rob Papineau praised the young defenceman's development and potential.
"We are excited that Ivan has committed to the hockey club and the OHL," said Papineau. "He was a standout all season on the OHL Cup championship team. He has an exciting summer ahead with USA Hockey and a very bright future with the Wolves." Hailing from Florida, Belikov's commitment marks an important early addition for the Wolves' 2026 draft class.
The club also announced the commitments of forwards Patrik Ula (131st overall), Norman Greene (193rd overall), and Colton Colby (213th overall), all selections from the 2025 OHL Priority Selection. "All three of these players had excellent camps last year and followed that up with strong seasons where they each led their teams to success," said Papineau. "Patrik started in U16 and was promoted to junior in Danbury after a successful stint with us in December. Norman had an outstanding year with the highly regarded Woodbridge U16 program, where he moved from Buffalo and became their captain. Colton was one of the top players with the Oakland Grizzlies, a dominant team in the Detroit U16 area. We welcome all four players and their families to Sudbury and look forward to their future with our hockey club."
With these commitments, Belikov, Ula, Greene, and Colby strengthen the Wolves' organization as the team continues to build toward the future.
