There can be only one wolf with its 'tale' in the air. This is the wolf, and this is its amazing tale.

— Ron MacLean, host of Hockey Night in Canada

My years behind the microphone with CKSO Radio were some of the best in the history of the franchise and it was great reliving many of these great teams, great games and great players. A wonderful trip through memory lane.

—Joe Bowen, Canadian sports commentator

"Through all the wins and losses, the hundreds of players and the characters, Scott Miller weaves a 50-year-old tale of the Sudbury Wolves, one of the most tradition-steeped major junior hockey franchises in Canada. With impeccable attention to detail, Miller takes readers through the history of the franchise and provides insight into its transformation from its days as a senior and semi-pro team to a hockey factory that has produced more than its share of NHL players and memorable moments. In-depth interviews with former owners, coaches and players make Leading the Pack a must-read for any Sudbury Wolves' fan."

—Ken Campbell, hockey journalist and Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame member
