Sudbury Wolves Sports and Entertainment (SWSE)

In 2017, Sudbury Wolves Sports and Entertainment acquired the Spartans, ensuring long-term growth and sustainability for one of Ontario’s oldest football clubs.
Sudbury Wolves Sports and Entertainment (SWSE) is the parent company overseeing several of Greater Sudbury's prominent sports franchises, including the Sudbury Wolves (OHL), Sudbury Five (NBLC), Sudbury Spartans (NFC), and the Sudbury Cyclones (League1 Ontario). Under the leadership of owner and CEO Dario Zulich, SWSE aims to engage, unite, and inspire the community through sports and entertainment.

In September 2016, Dario Zulich purchased the Sudbury Wolves, marking a new era for the team. Building on this acquisition, Zulich expanded SWSE's portfolio by acquiring the Sudbury Spartans Football Club in May 2017. Further diversification came with the introduction of the Sudbury Five basketball team and the Sudbury Cyclones soccer club, reflecting SWSE's commitment to broadening the sports landscape in the region.

Notable Initiatives

One of SWSE's standout projects is "The Biggest Goal Light in the World," which transformed Sudbury’s iconic downtown water tower into a 120-foot goal light. This installation lights up in vibrant red whenever the Sudbury Wolves score, symbolizing the city's passion for hockey and community spirit.
