Thunder Bay, Ont.- The dust has settled on the 2011 CCHL Entry Draft, and the Thunder Bay Timberwolves are coming out of it with 13 new prospects to add their already extensive, deep pool.
>>>"I think the overall consensus from our people is that of high regard for the group we walk away with," said Timberwolves general manager Blake Wendt. "We came in with a plan and an extensive list. We made moves to position ourselves where we felt comfortable in acquiring players off that list, and really didn't have to deviate much. Obviously you don't come out of it with everyone you targeted or spent a lot of time watching and reviewing. But nobody does. Every player we drafted were on our list. The excitement isn't over though. We will get these guys here in Thunder Bay immediately with upcoming camps and get a really good look at what we've accomplished."
