The Wolves had a terrific playoff run sweeping their opening round over Mariposa in three games then going on to the quarter-final and again were undefeated against Norwood.
Moving into the semi-final round the Wolves advanced to the final after winning in four games over South Bruce.
That set up the championship series with the Port Dover Pirates.

This game was an epic battle when the Pirates tied the game with 4:45 remaining then got the go-ahead goal with 2:32 left on the clock.

Showing their tenacity as a team, the Wolves battled back from a three goal deficit with Port Dover leading 4-1 in the second frame.
Nate Newmaster took the feed across the net in the second period to score Shelburne’s second goal.
A scramble in front of the net ended with Jake Currie popping in the Wolves’ third goal and his second of the game.
Shelburne forward Nate Newmaster tied the game at four with a beautiful shot to the top corner of the Port Dover net.
The final period was a battle to score and beat the clock.
Shelburne’s Brandon Richardson got goal number five and with less than five minutes on the clock

The game ended with a Pirates goal with 2:32 left on the clock and the series returned to Port Dover for game four of the series.
