The former first-round pick of the Wolves was selected in the third round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes. The 6-foot-2 defenceman is providing some much-needed leadership on the blue-line for the Wolves this season, and is counted on to chip in offensively as well.

The Sudbury Wolves wish to congratulate Michael on his tremendous work on and off the ice.
The Quiznos Hardest-Working Forward for the month of October is captain Danny Desrochers, who is entering his fourth full season with the Sudbury Wolves and was named captain just prior to the start of the regular season.

He can be counted to play in all situations and the Wolves will continue to look to Danny for his leadership and hard working play throughout the season.
