Sudbury Wolves News Release
(Greater Sudbury, ON) - The Sudbury Wolves continue their start to 2026 with two games at home this weekend. On Friday, January 9th at 7:05pm, the Niagara IceDogs visit the Sudbury Community Arena. Following this, the Ottawa 67's make their only stop in Sudbury on Sunday, January 11th at 2:05pm.
The Wolves have rallied at home lately, winning their last five on Sudbury Community Arena ice and seven of their last ten overall. Last week's action saw the Wolves undertake a four games in six days slate, which started with a 4-3 win against the Kitchener Rangers on home ice. Goaltender Paolo Frasca was instrumental, stopping 38 of 41 shots. After falling to the Colts on New Year's Eve, the Wolves bounced back at home against the North Bay Battalion with a 6-2 win. Frasca was crucial once again, making 38 saves on 40 shots, while forward Ethan Dean recorded his first multi-goal game in his OHL career.
