The Renfrew Wolves are a Junior ice hockey team in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) based in Renfrew, Ontario.

Arena

The team plays its home games at the myFM Centre in Ma-te-way Park, Renfrew, Ontario. The arena underwent significant renovations in the years leading up to the Wolves' arrival, with the project ultimately going significantly over budget and becoming the subject of controversy and investigations.[1]

History

The Wolves formed from the sale and relocation of the Kanata Lasers in 2020. The 2020–21 CCHL season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the Wolves debuted in the 2021–22 CCHL season, making the playoffs in their inaugural season.[2][3]

In the 2024 off-season, the team saw significant changes to its management and coaching staff. General Manager and Coach Ryan Leonard was relieved of his duties in April 2024.[4] He was replaced by Pat Norton, who was then himself replaced by Jerrett DeFazio in June 2024.[5] Jason Gould was subsequently hired as head coach.[6]
