Media release provided by the Sudbury Wolves organization
The Sudbury Wolves Hockey Club is pleased to announce a new partnership with BMI Custom Apparel and Promotional Products (BMI). BMI has become the new “official supplier of Sudbury Wolves merchandise” for the hockey club.
Fabio Belli, co-owner of BMI states, “We are thankful that the Wolves organization has given us the opportunity to give back to the community in a big way. Sudburians are great supporters of the Wolves and treat every game as if it were the Stanley Cup play-offs. We are very excited to be a part of Wolves’ hockey family.”
BMI will be offering two locations to serve Wolves’ fans – at their current retail location at 1775 Lasalle Blvd and inside the Sudbury Arena during Wolves’ games. BMI will also be launching a new website soon to allow Wolves’ fans to order merchandise online. “Wolves’ fans treat their team like an NHL team so we felt it was necessary to step-up the look and feel of the souvenir operations", notes Belli.
"We are currently in the process of upgrading the Wolves’ Den in the Sudbury Arena to look more like a mini-NHL tuck shop.” Fans will also be treated to new products including mini-helmets, toddler jerseys and many different styles of hats. “Our staff are big Wolves’ fans and we are anxious to meet all Wolves’ fans at our store locations and to talk about the Wolves and the latest happenings on and off the ice” adds Belli.
“Fabio and Shawn (McLean) of BMI have been generous supporters of the Wolves for many years and we are pleased to give them the opportunity to provide our fans with exciting new merchandise and a new level of service” notes Wolves’ Vice-President Blaine Smith.
The Sudbury Wolves are set to embark on a new and exciting OHL season with the potential arrival of two of the world’s brightest young stars – 16 year old John McFraland and 18 year old Nikita Filatov. Newly drafted (NHL) forwards Eric O’Dell and Jared Staal will also be back to lead the Wolves’ offensively.
