Donovan McCoy Named Wolves Captain
(Greater Sudbury, ON) – The Sudbury Wolves proudly announce Donovan McCoy as the 54th captain in franchise history, ahead of their upcoming season opener. Donovan will be accompanied by Kocha Delic, Alex Pharand, Nick DeAngelis, and Quentin Musty as part of our leadership group for the 2024-2025 season.
“Being named captain of such a historic team like the Wolves is a huge honour,” McCoy said about being named captain. “It’s a privilege to be able to lead the team not only on the ice but off the ice and in the community as well.”

Head Coach Scott Barney commented, “Donovan embodies everything we seek in a gentleman of character within the Sudbury Wolves organization. His leadership, discipline, and accountability, along with his positive attitude on and off the ice, make him an exceptional team player. He has experience as an assistant captain on an OHL championship-winning team and as a captain the following season. He truly is a players’ player, and we believe his leadership will help guide our team towards the goals we’ve set for this season.”
