After a strong finish to 2025, the Wolves men's basketball team is back at the ARC for the 1st time this calendar year when they take on crosstown rival La Cité.
The Wolves and Coyotes met in October to tip-off the 2025-26 season with Algonquin coming away with an 81-70 road win. The Wolves were a force inside in that game with rookie forward Aydin Gilani and veteran forward Haven Holder combining for 42 points and 18 boards.
It was tough sledding for the Wolves after their season opening win, but they found their game down the stretch winning 2 of their last 3 contests including a convincing 76-64 home win over Seneca to finish off the 1st half.
3rd year guard Albert Opena is having a solid 2025-26 campaign. The Ottawa native is 6th on the OCAA scoring list at 18.2 points per game. Haven Holder has been a force inside averaging 13.3 points and 7.3 boards. 2nd year guard James Texeira is the last Wolf to average double figures in the 1st semester. He is averaging 11.2 points per game on an efficient 78.3% from the floor and 42.5 % from 3 point range. Algonquin made a late edition to the roster adding Frank Thomas for the final 3 games of the semester. The 6 foot guard has been a spark for the team, averaging 9.7 points and 3.7 assists per game. Rookie forward Aydin Gilani is making a case for the OCAA East All-Rookie team. He leads the Wolves in rebounding, collecting 7.8 per game while adding 7.9 points.
Tip-off is set for 7:00 pm. Make sure to come out to the ARC and support your Wolves!
