Jr. Wolves, Royals in battle for third

The Kal Tire Junior Wolves hit the ice tonight (Sept. 23), at the McClelland Arena in Copper Cliff looking for the team's second win of the season as they host the Temiscaming Royals. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Sudbury will be looking to build on their performance last week at home when they beat their arch-rivals, the North Bay Trappers, by a score of 5-3, a press release stated. Sudbury enters the game tied with the Royals for third in the East Division with three points each, while Temiscaming holds a game in hand.

After a slow start, Jr. Wolves forward Chris Kangas has found the scoring touch that let him lead the team in points last season. Kangas has registered two goals and three assists in his last three games.

Rookie goaltender Chris Kaye has gotten off to a strong start this season. Despite his 0-1-1 record, he holds one of the best save percentages in the league at .929

Tickets for Wednesday’s game are available at the door for $9 for adults, $6 for juniors and seniors and $3 for children.
