If the Lakehead Thunderwolves are going to compete in the OUA West, they’ll have to find more mental toughness.

The Thunder Bay North Stars are quite comfortable when Brandon Wolframe has the puck on his stick in overtime.

Jylisa Williams knew she'd caught the Waterloo Warriors attention. Dropping 39 points in one's OUA debut tends to do that. Instead she decided to play decoy, a move that opened up the court for her Lakehead Thunderwolves teammates.

It wasn’t the finish Ashley Kallos was looking for Friday at the Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Trevor Hynnes and Zach Grzelewski scored third-period goals Friday night, leading the Thunder Bay North Stars to a 3-1 home-ice win over the Dryden Ice Dogs.

It took the Lakehead Thunderwolves and Brock Badgers 32 minutes to notch the first goal of their game Friday night. Then the two sides erupted for five goals between in the third alone and needed overtime to choose a winner.

It was a first-half of the season to forget, but the Lakehead Thunderwolves started the second half of the season off in winning fashion.

Jylisa Williams delivered as promised. And it was worth the wait.

Shelter House has received a $28,000 grant from the Ontario Sports and Recreation Community Fund to start a Thunder Bay chapter of Street Soccer Canada.
