After a successful draft head coach Darren Banks looks toward the future:
“We have been encouraged by the process since the season ended. We have made connections with players from familiar markets, as well as new areas. We now shift to the main part of the summer, where free agent players are still looking for their destination next season. We have seen a number of players from our team receive call ups or tender to the NAHL for next season. Some of these players are still playing in the NAHL playoffs currently. Our mission next year is to stay true to our hard-working identity, be good partners in the community and continue building on the Ice Wolves culture.”
