Our Success Stories

Players who compete for the Midget AAA Waterloo Wolves have committed many years of dedication and hard work to develop their skills. We are truly proud of them.

It is our hope that the traits learned while wearing the uniform of the Waterloo Wolves will follow these young men throughout their academic, athletic, and business pursuits.

Over the years it has been very exciting to see our players move on the compete in all levels of Junior hockey, college/university play, European league and NHL.

As of the end of the 2015-16 seasons, 14 seasons in all, we have seen:

 3 of our players make it to the NHL

 17 players graduate to Junior A

 Over 70 players graduate to Junior B

 Over 30 players graduate to Junior C

We have many alumni playing hockey at universities and col- leges in Canada and the US, as well as players in Europe. We even have an alum officiating in the NHL and another in the AHL!

As Willy Huber always says, "Once a Wolf, Always a Wolf".

We encourage all Wolves' alumni to keep us updated on their progress in hockey. Updates may be forwarded to Sandi Henning at [email protected] “Once a Wolf, Always a Wolf.” —Willy Huber Page 6 Getting to Know Your Wolves
