Wolves' fans attending Friday night's home game will be able to take part in welcoming home former Wolves' forward Akim Aliu, who was recently acquired from the London Knights.
In addition, Wolves' fans will welcome back 16-year-old scoring sensation John McFarland, who led Team Ontario to the gold medal in the World Under-17 Challenge in B.C. on the weekend.
A pre-game ceremony will take place on Friday to honour McFarland along with U-17 teammate Mississauga Majors goaltender J.P. Anderson and Majors head coach Dave Cameron, who won gold on Monday as an assistant coach to Pat Quinn on Team Canada's gold medal winning World Junior team.
Aliu and McFarland will be a welcomed addition to the Wolves line-up, who are looking to take a run at a play-off spot and another shot at the Eastern Conference Championship, which the team won in 2007.
The team currently sits with 40 points, which is one more point than the team garnered all of last season.
Wolves' fans will also welcome back Daniel Maggio to the Wolves' line-up on Friday, along with 17-year-old forward Marcus Foligno.
Both Foligno and Maggio are projected as top prospects for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft.
The OHL trade deadline is set for 12 p.m. Friday, so any further changes to the Wolves' line-up will be made prior to Friday night's big match-up with the Majors.
Friday's game is sponsored by Spicers and the first 200 fans that purchase a game program for a toonie will receive a paper cube from Spicers and a team poster collector calendar courtesy of Spicers.
The Wolves will travel to Brampton Thursday to play the Brampton Battalion before returning home for Friday's key match-up with the Majors.
