There can be only one wolf with it's 'tale' in the air. This is the wolf, and this is it's amazing tale. --Ron MacLean

There can be only one wolf with it's 'tale' in the air. This is the wolf, and this is it's amazing tale. --Ron MacLean My years behind the microphone with CKSO Radio were some of the best in the history of the franchise and it was great reliving many of these great teams, great games and great players. A wonderful trip through memory lane. --Joe Bowen, Canadian sports commentator Through all the wins and losses, the hundreds of players and the characters, Scott Miller weaves a 50-year-old tale of the Sudbury Wolves, one of the most tradition-steeped major junior hockey franchises in Canada. With impeccable attention to detail, Miller takes readers through the history of the franchise and provides insight into its transformation from its days as a senior and semi-pro team to a hockey factory that has produced more than its share of NHL players and memorable moments. In-depth interviews with former owners, coaches and players make Leading the Pack a must-read for any Sudbury Wolves' fan. --Ken Campbell, hockey journalist and Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame member There are few cities that define what it means to rage against winter by playing Canada's sporting gift to the world, but this expansive document of Sudbury and its Wolves is a treasure for anyone interested in the pure soul of hockey. --Dave Bidini, author of Tropic of Hockey and Keon and Me
