But seriously folks, I don't think the Wolves are done making moves with less than three hours until the #OHL trade deadline. You have no doubt read the rumours. Stay tuned.
Sudbury Wolves have made a trade. No, not that one. They get a 2027 fourth-round pick from Kingston, originally Owen Sound's, for a fifth in 2028, originally Windsor's #ohl

#OHL overage trade deadline has come and gone. Barring something that was completed last minute, the Sudbury Wolves will finish the season with forward Chase Coughlan and defenceman Gavin Ewles as their two OAs.

Coughlan and Ewles will be the Sudbury Wolves' overagers for the rest of this #OHL season.
Speaking of overagers, one of the Sudbury Wolves' two current OAs, defenceman Gavin Ewles, has committed to Robert Morris University for next season.
A little less than an hour and a half until the #OHL trade deadline for overage players. Sudbury Wolves currently have two and can roster three in total.

All the best to Sudbury Five forward Keyshawn Bryant, who has signed with the Windy City Bulls in the NBA G-League. I had actually written a story up on his great start in Sudbury and had planned to post it today, but guess I'll have to rework that one.

Adam Nemec will wear No. 71 for the Sudbury Wolves. Wore 17 for his hometown Liptovsky Mikulas youth program, but of course that number was retired here for Mike Foligno.
As mentioned in my story here, www.thesudburystar.com/sports/jean-..., Jean-Cristoph Lemieux will wear No. 66.
