Page 2 Wolf Talk Volume 4, Issue 1 From Willy Huber, Chair, Midget Operating Committee Our 11th season is now in full motion. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new and returning players, coaching staff, operating committee, parents, sponsors and the fans to another Waterloo Wolves hockey season. I look forward to working and getting to know you all during the season. After a well-attended mini-camp and try-outs, the Wolves coaching staff had some difficult decisions to make. The official roster for 2012-2013 is listed on page 3. There are new faces behind the bench this season. I would like to welcome Head coach Jeff Brick, associate coaches, Dave Steele and Paul Gaudet, goalie coach -Norm Bonnell, Chad Drown -Associate Trainer, and Chris McFarlane - Strength and Conditioning Coach. I would also like to welcome back Head Trainer -Greg Henning and Skate Technician -Kim Rennie. The Wolves organization is not only active during the hockey season, but during the off season as well. This past summer, we held our second annual alumni golf tournament, and boy, was it ever a great time. We had some alumni players come out and join us for a fun day of golf, meal, and prizes. Thank you to those who volunteered and helped out during the event. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. The Waterloo Wolves have some great days ahead of them. Wolfamania 5 will be taking place Friday, November 16, 2012. Wolfamania is a gala fundraiser to support our young hockey players as they prepare to travel to Sudbury and Quebec this season. The evening includes a complete hot buffet dinner, live band, dancing, casino and silent auction at St. George s Hall, King Street, Waterloo.
