In Grade 12 courses, Wolf achieved perfect grades in English 12, Statistics, Economics, and American Government.

“Dustin is very dedicated and driven to graduate with a 4.0 GPA,” said Silvertips education coordinator Darren Parsons. “He is very mature, reliable, and very organized. He has done an excellent job with combining the rigors of hockey to his high educational demands.”
