I want to thank them for their dedication to the interests and support of their players, the league and the fans in Sudbury,” said David Branch, OHL Commissioner. “The OHL welcomes Dario Zulich to the league and looks forward to celebrating the Wolves 45th anniversary in the 2016-2017 season.”

“I am grateful to the Board of Governors of the Ontario Hockey League for its approval of the ownership transfer of the Sudbury Wolves, enabling me to purchase the Wolves from the Burgess and Edwards families,” said Dario Zulich. “I am looking forward to the final step in the process, which will officially close the sale and purchase on a date to be determined prior to the start of the Wolves preseason.”
