​Ripley Wolves’ season ends with 5-1 loss to Clinton

The Ripley Wolves ended their season with a 5-1 loss in Game 5 against Clinton, Saturday night, at the Ripley Arena.

The Wolves couldn't get anything going against Clinton's towering defence, only breaking the shut-out late in the third period on a goal by Garrett Meurs, assisted by Brett Catto.

By that point, the outcome had been decided, with Clinton leading 4-0, and adding an empty-netter in the dying seconds.

Though not the end result the Wolves hoped for, it was another strong season under difficult circumstances, with the league again being shut down for a period due to COVID-19.
