2015-16 Rookies Most Productive in Last 10 Years
The Sudbury Wolves have enjoyed having some successful seasons with rookie scoring production in the past, but, in the last 10 years, the 2015-16 season ranks as the most productive season in rookie scoring, thanks primarily to: Dmitry Sokolov, Alan Lyszczarczyk and David Levin.
The Sudbury Wolves future is extremely bright with the return of some highly-skilled returning players as well as some top prospects currently in the Wolves’ development system such as Shane Bulitka, who led the Strathroy Rockets Jr team in scoring this season at only 16-years-of-age.
Owen Lane, 16, continues to play for the Kitchener Dutchmen Jr team in the second round of the GOJHL play-offs and the young Kitchener native continues to be one of the leading goal-scorers on the Dutchmen this season.
