DEFENSEMAN ‘SUPER PROUD’ TO BE RECOGNIZED
There’s just one area of Domenick Fensore’s game that hasn’t blossomed this season: The Wolves defenseman still doesn’t possess a great ability to praise his own actions.
“I don’t really talk about myself too much,” Fensore said. “I just come to the rink every day and work hard and hopefully it rubs off on guys around me to do the same.”
That quiet determination and work ethic has helped lead to a career season for Fensore, including being named recipient of the 2025 Tim Breslin Unsung Hero Award.
