Wolves Host Colts & 67’s
The Wolves are back in town for a pair of home games this weekend before heading on the road Sunday to wrap up their second consecutive 3-in-3 weekend.
Friday night’s contest will see the Wolves take on the first place team in the OHL, the Barrie Colts, who are off to an electrifying start this season with an impressive record of 11-3-0-1 through 15 games. The Colts early season success has been in large part to the strong play of All-Star forward MARK SCHEIFELE (Winnipeg Jets, 7th Overall) and his line-mate ZACH HALL, who both sit in the top 5 in league scoring. The Colts charge is also let by promising young defenceman AARON EKBLAD, 16, who was granted exceptional status and entered the OHL last season as a 15 year old. Ekblad has 12 points in 15 league games to date.
