The Sudbury Wolves completed a trade today with the Kitchener Rangers which sees the Wolves acquire a 14^th round conditional draft selection from the Rangers in exchange for overage defenceman RYAN HANES.   The conditions attached to Kitchener’s 14^th round pick would allow the pick to be moved up to an  8^th round draft selection in 2013 should the conditions be met.

HANES, 20, was released ten days ago by the Wolves as a result of the team having too many overage players.    The 6’, 200 lb, Ottawa native was acquired by the Wolves in 2010 from the Ottawa 67’s along with a 2^nd and 7^th round draft picks in exchange for former Wolves’ defenceman Jake Cardwell.  Hanes’ numbers in the OHL include:  219 games played, 6 goals, 23 assists for 29 points and 189 penalty minutes. In 64 games played with the Wolves last season, Hanes recorded 2 goals, 8 assists for 10 points and 80 minutes in penalties along with a +7 rating.   Hanes recently accompanied the Wolves to Russia and was a member of the gold medal World Champion Wolves’ team.    The Sudbury Wolves organization would like to thank Ryan for his personal commitment and efforts as a member of the Sudbury Wolves and wish him continued success in Kitchener.
