But the team has also brought in some new blood, including twins Cole and Caden Carlson and defencemen Guerin Apperley from the OCN Blizzard.
On the goaltending side of things, the Wolverines have brought in Michael Bashaw from Wisconsin, and brought back former Wolverines goalie Tresor Wotton after he had a late season stint with the Yorkton Terriers last season.
The game starts at 7:30pm at the Tundra Oil & Gas Place, and can be viewed on HockeyTV.
