Sudbury Wolves News Release
(Greater Sudbury, ON) - The Sudbury Wolves come back from the Holidays looking to continue their four-game winning streak, as they take on the Kitchener Rangers at home on Tuesday, December 30th at 7:05pm.
The Wolves kept the good times rolling, starting with taking care of the Colts in Barrie on Thursday night. A dominant effort saw Sudbury outshoot Barrie 47-28 on the night, with overager Alex Pharand scoring the first two goals of the contest, along with Kieron Walton (WPG), Nathan Villeneuve (SEA), and 2027 NHL Draft eligible Luca Blonda all pitching in with two-point efforts. Goaltender Björn Bronäs recorded the win, stopping 27 of 28 shots.
Having a back-to-back with a Friday matchup at home against the Storm, the Wolves kept their feet on the gas. Goaltender Paolo Frasca made his OHL debut memorable, making 38 saves on 40 shots and earning his first OHL win. Overager Alex Pharand stayed hot, tallying a hat-trick for five goals and an assist in just two games on the week. Kieron Walton and Nathan Villeneuve both recorded three-point nights, with 2026 NHL Draft eligible Rowan Henderson rounding out the scoring.
