Council hosted the U11 Niagara-on-the-Lake Wolves rep hockey team Tuesday night after they placed second at the Ontario Minor Hockey Association’s annual championship tournament April 9.
Lord Mayor Gary Zalepa led a procession of Wolves into the council chambers where they were greeted by a packed house and a round of applause.
The lord mayor, wearing a green Wolves jersey just like the players, awarded each player with an honourary certificate before they answered the applauding crowd with a chorus of howls.
The team also brought along two first-place trophies that they won – in NOTL’s own Harvest Classic Tournament and the Niagara District Hockey League championship.
