Ontario Hockey League and Wolves

Wolves: Levin, who turns 16 in September, can apply to have his start time deferred by filling out paperwork before the end of February, according to The Waterloo Record. Wolves general manager Blaine Smith is confident it will all work out. "We did ask about that ," he said. "That something that is being handled by he and his family. Levin was selected first overall by Sudbury in the Ontario Hockey League draft this past weekend, but will only be able to play one season for the Wolves unless he granted a deferment by the Israeli Defense Forces. "I'm not thinking about it now," Levin said during a visit to Kitchener on Tuesday for an announcement regarding the OHL Gold Cup. "I hope the OHL will help me with this." It compulsory for men to serve three years and women to serve about two years in the Israeli military with conscription beginning during each citizen 17th year. They don't feel it something that will be standing in his way from pursuing his career." Levin agent Darren Ferris said the process has already begun to clear the way for his client. "My associates in Israel are working on the deferment so he able to play here," he said. "We don't anticipate any problems with it. He lives with his aunt and uncle in North York. We're also working on his landed immigrant status." Levin moved to Canada when he was 12 to chase his dream of playing hockey. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
