It’s going to be a busy few months for the Wolves. The Wolves will be participating in several tournaments this season with one of them

being the International Elite Midget Tournament in Kelowna, B.C. We also have an awesome event coming up, Wolfamania VI, a gala

fundraiser on November 9th. More details about this event are located on the back

I would like thank in advance, the parents, sponsors and fans for your

support this season. You all are the key to the success of the Midget AAA

Waterloo Wolves.

To the Waterloo Wolves Midget AAA Hockey Team, remember to stay

focused and have fun.

We are proud to have you on our team!

Remember, “Once a Wolf Always a Wolf!”

Sincerely, your friend in hockey, Willy Huber Jr. Willy with Wolves alumni Ben and Luke Moser.
