The 2026-27 Calumet Wolverines roster is set: 28 players, head coach Bruce Coppo and new assistant coach Ken Rowe, ready to take the ice at the Calumet Colosseum in the Great Lakes Hockey League. The schedule opens in on Friday, October 23. See the full schedule here.
This year's group pairs a core of proven scorers and a fresh wave of Copper Country talent, much of it straight out of Calumet High. Here's who to watch.
Returning firepower
The Wolverines return their top two scorers from a year ago and a lot of players that shined during the 2025-26 campaign.
#6 Matt Yeo led the team in scoring in 2025-26 with 33 points, including 19 goals in 20 games. It was his third straight 30-point season and his best yet.
#11 Logan Rastello finished with 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists) and led the team in assists.
#18 Gabe Coppo is back after a 26-point season (8 goals, 18 assists). Before coming home, Coppo spent three years in junior hockey in the NA3HL, including a 41-point season with the Yellowstone Quake.
#74 Sherman Mowery posted 20 points last season, his fourth straight year with 20 or more. The Kentwood native played junior hockey with the Wisconsin Dells Ducks and college hockey at Davenport University.
#61 Liam Pomroy made a big jump in his first season out of Calumet High, putting up 17 points (4 goals, 13 assists) in 15 games.
Some big defensemen are coming back and ready to play big minutes including #15 Matt Frantti, #24 Maxx Fredrickson, #77 Austin Rilei, #40 Cliff Jurmu and #93 Stephen Dudenas
In net, #30 Dan Wroblewski is back for his second season with the Wolverines. The former Hancock Central netminder went 9-2-1 with a 2.37 goals-against average for the Bulldogs in 2023-24.
