Interesting goings-on in Sudbury where the OHL’s Wolves announced that Northern Life, a twice-a-week publication, has become the team’s “official newspaper.” . . . Blaine Smith, the Wolves’ president and general manager, was quoted as saying that Northern Life “understands the importance of supporting the local OHL team by providing professional editorial coverage that assists in building our brand in the community and throughout the OHL.” . . .

The SJHL, which earlier found corporate sponsorship (Kramer Ltd. Group) for one of its division, now has done it with another.

The SJHL’s regular season begins Thursday with Melville in Estevan.
