It’s a busy weekend for hockey, as most of the leagues are back from Christmas break.
The Whitecourt Wolverines will be waiting a little longer to play their first home games of 2022. They were slated to play the Lloydminister Bobcats in a two game series, but the games have been postponed due to COVID-related issues.
We will share the new game times when they become available.
