WATERLOO WOLVES U18 AAA history
History
The U18 AAA Waterloo Wolves are a regional, provincial and national success story.
U18 AAA (formerly known as Major Midget AAA) Waterloo Wolves players have been drafted into the NHL, provincial Junior A (and tier-two Junior A) and European Hockey Leagues. As noted on our Alumni page, many of our players have also moved on to play Junior B and Junior C hockey.
We are proud of all the young men wearing the Midget AAA Waterloo Wolves uniform.​​
