Wolves hire OHL alumnus Brent Gauvreau as Assistant Coach

The Sudbury Wolves are pleased to announce that OHL alumnus Brent Gauvreau will be joining the club as an Assistant Coach with the focus on skill development for the 2023-24 season.

“We have been wanting to add Brent for the past couple seasons and the timing was right for him to join us now,” said Sudbury Wolves VP & General Manager Rob Papineau. “A proud Sudbury native that had great success in the OHL as a player and captain. His pro career was cut short with injuries, but he has remained in the game and most recently has been the Northern Ontario scout for the Kingston Frontenacs. He is a high-quality person, and our staff and players will really love having Brent as part of our team.”

A proud native of Sudbury, Ont., Gauvreau began his competitive journey with the Sudbury Wolves U18 AAA team that lead him to a four-year playing career in the OHL with the Oshawa Generals. His leadership skills were recognized when he was appointed captain during his final season. Gauvreau was selected by the Calgary Flames during the 1998 NHL Draft as well as the Phoenix Coyotes during the 2000 NHL Draft. Following his OHL career, Gauvreau played professionally for several years in the ECHL, AHL, and European leagues.
