Doyle: Appreciating the game from a different angle

Doyle: Suspended Game
Tuesday night's Soo Greyhounds at Sudbury Wolves game was suspended with the score tied 0-0 heading into the third period. Ice conditions forced this as the surface was deemed unsafe to play on.

No word on when the game will be resumed.
