2012-2013 Regular Season In Review
Last season the Waterloo Wolves celebrated their 10th anniversary with an excellent season going un-
defeated in regulation time finishing with a 30-0-0-2 record. The team had skill, talent, and leadership.
An excellent season is sometimes hard to follow up on. The 2012 - 2013 season Wolves team faced a
tonne of adversity. The majority of last seasons players had moved on to Junior hockey leaving many
spots to fill at the start of this season. A new coaching staff and many new players made up the bulk of
this years team. Six players from last season returned to help guide the new players in their inaugural
Midget AAA season.
The Wolves had early success in regular season play
1st Quarter record - 6-1-1-0 3rd Quarter record – 5-1-1-1
2nd Quarter record – 5-3-0-0 4th Quarter record – 5-2-0-1
The Wolves elected to enter 5 tournaments this season instead of the usual four. Up first was the To-
ronto Titans Tournament in September. The young Wolves ended up winning 1 of 4 games. The other
tournaments were a good experience for the team however the results were the same going 1-3 at the
Waterloo Gold Puck, 1-3 at the Sudbury Big Nickel, and 2-2 at the Kitchener Blueline. In January the
team travelled to Drummondville, Quebec for their 5th tournament but couldn’t earn a victory going
0-3.
Waterloo finished their regular season play with a 21-7-2-2 record good enough for 4th place.
The team will match up with the Hamilton Huskies in the first round of this season’s playoffs. Last year
the Wolves dispatched the Hamilton (formerly known as) Reps in 3 games winning the series 6 points –
0. The Wolves record vs Hamilton this season was 3-0-0-1. Go Wolves.
— Greg Henning, Head Trainer
