Adam Nemec took one for the team. In fact, he took two for the team Tuesday morning at Sudbury Arena.

The tides turned in the first ever Sudbury Wolves School Day Game when the visiting Soo Greyhounds were assessed back to back double minor penalties for high-sticking late in the middle stanza.

Ironically, both infractions were inflicted upon Nemec, drawing blood (and then even more blood) just four seconds apart.

The Wolves took full advantage of a lengthy five on three power play as JC Lemieux and Kash Kwajah converted with the man advantage less than two minutes apart, breaking open a 1-1 tie and leading Sudbury to a 4-1 win.

With thousands of school students on hand for the contest that was otherwise not available to the public or season ticket holders, the teams looked no worse for the wear with a 10:30 a.m. puck drop, with Nolan Long opening the scoring with his first goal of the year for the Hounds in the opening frame.

The Wolves pulled even in period two when local product Mason Walker showcased both his speed in driving quickly to the net and his soft hands, tapping in his own rebound and making the score 1-1.

Despite the two Sudbury power play goals, the contest remained very much up for grabs until Adam Nemec capped off a pretty individual effort, on the power play, roofing a shot in tight as the Wolves improved to 13-5-1-0 thanks to their 4-1 victory.

Goaltender Bjorn Bronas registered his second consecutive win between the pipes thanks to a 28-save effort, with the Wolves having doubled the Barrie Colts 6-3 last Sunday in Sudbury as well.

A pair of goals from JC Lemieux to end this game sealed the victory for Sudbury, who bolted out to a 3-0 lead but were up only 4-3 when the former Windsor Spitfire netted his 11th and 12th markers of the season.

Kingston Harris, Brayden Bennett and Ivan Belikov, with his first OHL goal, got the Wolves off and running, with scoring in the second as the Colts rallied behind snipes from William Schneid, Lexi Kert and Carter Lowe.

The Wolves will close out this current three game homestand on Friday night, welcoming the Sarnia Sting to town and ending the week with a short road trip east to face the North Bay Battalion on Sunday afternoon at the Boart Longyear Memorial Gardens.
