The '''Sudbury Wolves''' are an [[Ontario Hockey League]] (OHL) [[ice hockey]] team based in [[Greater Sudbury|Sudbury]], [[Ontario]], Canada.

Sudbury has had various hockey teams competing at the [[Junior ice hockey|junior]] and [[senior ice hockey]] levels of the game known as the "Wolves" (or "Cub Wolves") nearly every year since around the time of [[World War I]]. The current junior franchise came into existence in 1972 when local businessman Mervin "Bud" Burke purchased the [[Niagara Falls Flyers]] and relocated the team to Sudbury.<ref>{{Cite web |title='He was hard as nails, but fair and firm' — Sudbury hockey community mourns Bud Burke |url=https://thesudburystar.com/sports/local-sports/he-was-hard-as-nails-but-fair-and-firm-sudbury-hockey-community-mourns-bud-burke |access-date=2023-03-03 |website=thesudburystar |language=en-CA}}</ref>

The current franchise has never won the Memorial Cup, nor has it captured the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]]. Despite this lack of championships, the team has been one of the top development franchises in major junior over its history,<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Hockey Factory – Sudbury Wolves |url=https://sudburywolves.com/the-hockey-factory |access-date=2022-09-28 |language=en-CA}}</ref> with over 120 players drafted in to the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) since 1973. The Wolves have been a central part of Sudbury's history for decades, and the team is among the most iconic junior hockey franchises in all of North America.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Scott |title=Leading the Pack: 50 Years of Sudbury Wolves History |url=https://store.latitude46publishing.com/products/leading-the-pack-50-years-of-sudbury-wolves-history |access-date=2022-09-28 |website=Latitude 46 Publishing}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Wolves to stay in Sudbury as OHL team celebrates 50 years, says owner |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/sudbury-wolves-50-years-1.6589227}}</ref>
