Wolves Complete Trade with Spitfires
(Greater Sudbury, ON) The Sudbury Wolves announce they have traded Captain Jacob Holmes to the Windsor Spitfires in exchange for Kitchener’s 2nd round draft pick in 2024, Kingston’s 2nd round pick in 2025, Niagara’s 3rd round pick in 2026, Oshawa’s 4th round pick in 2023 and Windsor’s 6th round pick in 2025.
“Jacob is an outstanding person and has been excellent for our hockey team both on and off the ice,” said Sudbury Wolves VP & General Manager. “The ability to add five high draft picks was something we felt we simply could not turn down especially with the possibility of Jacob turning pro next season. The development of players like Djibril Toure, Matthew Mania and Jakub Chromiak allowed us to make this trade at this time.”
The Alliston, ON native was acquired from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds last January at the trade deadline and was an outstanding leader for the Wolves, being named Captain for the 2022-23 season. This season Holmes scored 3 goals and added 15 assists through 32 games.
The Sudbury Wolves would like to thank Jacob for his contributions both on and off the ice over this past year and wish him the best of luck in his future hockey career.
The Wolves return to home ice this Friday night when they look to extend their win streak to three games as they host the Oshawa Generals at 7:05pm. Friday’s game is sponsored by Gateway Casino. It’s First Responders Appreciation night. Tickets are on-sale now at greatersudbury.ca/tickets.
