The Ripley Wolves kicked off their season with a tidy 5-2 win over the visiting Georgian Bay Applekings.
Defenceman Dawson Fahrer scored the first two of the Wolves season within the first five minutes of play and Garrett Meurs iced it with a hat-trick over the second and third periods, including an empty-netter.
Assists on Fahrer's goals went to rookie Carter Servais, Taylor Woolcott and Ethan Skinner. Helpers on the Meurs goals were Cody Britton (2), Kaden Hoggarth, Jordan Moulton, who was playing his first regular season game for the Wolves after debuting in the OEHL semi-finals last season, and Skinner.
Garrett Golley got the start in the Wolves net and stopped 34 of 36 shots for the win.
The Wolves welcome the expansion Elmvale Harvesters on Saturday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. Game sponsors are McTeer Automotive and A Girl and Her Hammer.
