FORT FRANCES, Ont. – The Fort Frances Lakers of the Superior International Junior Hockey League has announced the re-signing of forward Cody Merritt for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

“We will look to expand Cody’s role this season on our team and hope he comes back hungry to build off his first season of Jr. A hockey,” added Strachan.
