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.

Tough start for the Sudbury Wolves on the road. They trail the Soo Greyhounds 4-0 after the first period. Shots 11-7 in the Hounds’ favour. Karsen Chartier took over from Bjorn Bronas in goal midway through the frame.

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.
