“We’re having a big camp because there are a lot of kids who are available who we think can better our team,” he said. “I expect a very intense and competitive camp because that’s how we are going play all year around. They better bring it, otherwise they won’t be an Ice Wolf.”

The regular season for the team begins Sept. 13 when the Ice Wolves travel to Flin Flon to take on the Bombers. The home-opener will be Sept. 14 when the Bombers travel to La Ronge. Both games have a 7:30 p.m. start time.
