Wolves Camp - Day 3
 

September 03, 2012

The Sudbury Wolves closed off their 2012 Main Camp Weekend with the annual Blue & White game that was played Monday morning. Forty players were selected to play in the annual event which saw Team White defeat Team Blue by a score of 2-1.

Team Blue goaltenders JOEL VIENNEAU and TAYLOR DUPUIS combined to make 38 saves.  VIENNEAU stopped all 18 shots that he faced while rookie goaltender TAYLOR DUPUIS stopped 20 of 21 shots. NICK BAPTISTE was the only player to beat Dupuis on a partial breakaway late  in the third period.   JOSH LEIVO and MIKE KANTOR picked up assists on Baptiste's goal.

Team White goaltenders JOHN CHARTRAND and BRENDAN O'NEILL combined to make 27 saves.   CHARTRAND, 19, allowed two goals on 18 shots while O'NEILL stopped all 11 shots that he faced.   DEREK SCHOENMAKERS and BRODY SILK scored early in the first period to give TEAM WHITE all of the goals that they needed.   JEFF CORBETT, SAM SCHUTT, ZACK MCFADDEN and MATHEW CAMPAGNA picked up assists on the TEAM WHITE goals.

After the game, Wolves' coaches and management met with players including Wolves' 16 year old players that were recently drafted by the Wolves in April.  All of the Wolves' young prospects had solid camps and gained valuable experience playing against the Wolves' vets in the annual "Blue & White" game.

The Wolves reduced their training camp roster down to 28 players including 16 forwards, 9 defencemen and 3 goaltenders.  The Wolves will continue their 'try-out' period into the pre-season schedule as the Wolves prepare for back-to-back exhibition games this week on Thursday in Sault Ste. Marie and on Friday in Sudbury against the Kitchener Rangers.  Game time on Friday is 7:30.
