The Renfrew Wolves are a Junior ice hockey team based in Renfrew, Ontario in the West division of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL). The team plays its home games at the MyFM Centre Recreation Complex. The franchise moved to Renfrew ahead of the 2021–22 CCHL season from Kanata, Ontario, where it was known the Kanata Lasers.
History
[edit]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.[1][2]
The Wolves home arena, the MyFM Centre Recreation Complex, underwent 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.[3]
