The Wolves can be incredibly proud of their performance throughout the tournament
and of their silver place finish.
Individually players also received accolades at the tournament:
Tournament MVP: Gary Mantz
Tournament All-Stars: Matthieu Bourbeau, Klayton Hoelscher, and Gary Mantz
Player of the Game in the Final: Adam McPhail
The Wolves were also presented with the 2014 Blair Dietz - Bill Wylie Memorial Tro-
phy (see photo; left).
Teams who receive this award have shown a great work ethic during their game, estab-
lished support with game officials, and played aggressively while challenging their
opponent within the guidelines of fair play. They have been encouraged by their
coaching staff to play fair, honest and firm, and have accepted wins and loses with
pride and good sportsmanship.
Congratulations to our Waterloo Wolves. We cheered you on in the stands in
Kelowna and from home, and are very proud of all you achieved out west.
