Injuries Adding Up
The Sudbury Wolves who had a high of 7 players out of the line-up to start the 2011-12 OHL season, are now back up to six players out of the line-up with injuries.
Despite the return of JACOB HARRIS and JEFF CORBETT to the Wolves’ line-up this week, the Sudbury Wolves continue to suffer physical setbacks as two more players will be out of the Wolves’ line-up pending medical assessments by team doctors.
Forward SAM SCHUTT suffered an injury during a fight on Friday night against the Mississauga Majors. Defenceman RYAN HANES was hit hard into the boards in Oshawa and suffered an injury that will keep him out of the line-up this weekend.
SCHUTT & HANES now join JOSH MCFADDEN, MICHAEL MACDONALD, JOEL VIENNEAU, and ALEX RACINO on the sidelines.
The Wolves have called-up defenceman TYLER PRONG from the Sarnia Jr. B hockey club for Sunday’s game in OWEN SOUND. Wolves’ affiliate AARON SCOTT is also suiting-up for the Wolves on the forward position from the Sudbury Cubs Jr. A team.
Estimated return dates for the current injured Wolves’ players are as follows:
SAM SCHUTT – 1 week (17)
RYAN HANES – 1 week (19)
JOSH MCFADDEN – 2 weeks (20)
MICHAEL MACDONALD – 2 weeks (20)
JOEL VIENNEAU – 2 weeks (19)
ALEX RACINO – 2 weeks (18)
The Wolves return home to face the GUELPH STORM on Friday, Oct. 28th. GUELPH’s line-up includes Sudburian TYLER BERTUZZI – the nephew of TODD BERTUZZI of the Detroit Red Wings.
TYLER BERTUZZI,16, was drafted in the 4th round of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection and currently leads the GUELPH STORM in penalty minutes. The Wolves will have a tough customer on their hands when TYLER BERTUZZI returns to his hometown of Sudbury on Friday night.
