[edit] Championships
The Ripley Wolves have won the WOAA Sr. "B" Championship twice in their history, during the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons. A former team, the Ripley Roosters, were the WOAA Intermediate "D" champions 9 times (1977, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988) and were the WOAA Grand Champions twice in 1982 and 1984.
[edit] 2006-07 Wolves Season
The Wolves improved greatly from their 2005-06 season, when they finished with a 7-18-0 record, rebounding to a 12-9-3 record, good for 6th place in the WOAA North Division. They continued their success by sweeping the Goderich Pirates in the Sr. "A" quarter-finals to advance to the Sr. "A" semi-finals.
Ripley's opponent would be the Milverton Four Wheel Drives, and after winning the 1st game of the series in overtime, the Wolves would drop the next 3 games to find themselves 1 loss away from being eliminated. Ripley rebounded though, winning the series in 7 games and would move on to the "A" finals.
Ripley then played the Durham Thundercats for the "A" Final, dropped the first game in overtime before rebounding with 2 wins in a row to take the series lead. Durham would then win 2 in a row to put Ripley on the brink of elimination, however in game 6 at Ripley, the Wolves earned a hard fought 7-4 win to send the series to a 7th game in Durham. The Thundercats proved too much to handle, skating their way to a 5-1 victory, and ending the Wolves season one win short of the "A" Championship.
[edit] 2007-08 Wolves Season
After a highly successful 2006-07, the Wolves would improve once again, setting team records in wins (20) and points (41), while finishing in 3rd place in the WOAA North Division, and earning a spot in the "AA" playoffs for the first time in team history.
Ripley would face the Clinton Radars in the "AA" quarter-finals, and after losing the opening game on the road in Clinton, the Wolves returned home for the 2nd game, and earned their first ever "AA" playoff victory, defeating the Radars 5-2 to even up the series. Clinton proved to be too much for Ripley to handle, as the Radars would take control of the series with wins in games 3 and 4 to put the Wolves on the brink of elimination. Clinton then would easily win the 5th game of the series by a 7-3 score, eliminating the Wolves from the playoffs.
