LACONIA, NH -- As has become commonplace over the past couple seasons, the New England Wolves Elite team continues to support the community around them. The Wolves have two big games highlighted on their calendar, as they host the Boston Jr. Rangers on February 25th and the Vermont Lumberjacks on March 4th. While the games are important towards the team's playoff push, it's the events taking place each night that means the most.

February 25th - A Game For Max (6:45pm)
Maxwell Gagnon was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia type B, or leukemia ALL, this past summer. He was rushed to the emergency room at Boston Children's Hospital and was a patient there for the next 43 days. His treatment is expected to last 2 years.

Max will spend the pre-game with the Wolves Elite team; watching the warmups from the players bench and serving as Honorary Captain.  During the game the Wolves will be selling Autographed Team and Player pictures, of which 100% of the proceeds will go to Max and his family.  Additionally, the popular “Max Bracelet’s” which can be found all over the Lakes Region will be available for purchase during the game.

March 4th - JBT Hockey Game (6:30pm)
For the 2nd straight season, the New England Wolves will be dedicating a home game to celebrate the memory of John Bradley Thompson.

JBT endured a 10-month battle with DIPG back in 2013-2014. Unfortunately the DIPG brain tumor at the time was inoperable, and still today leaves families with little to no hope. John would be turning 10 at the end of March, and his parents have continued to honor him through the 'Cure Starts Now Foundation' that they started in his name.
