Delaney is a three-time OFSAA competitor, placing fifth in 2017. Delaney will be pursuing her Honours Bachelor of Environmental Management in the fall.

Ryan will compete at 83 or 90 kg this coming season giving the Thunderwolves the much-needed depth in heavier weight classes. Ryan was in the top 8 this year at OFSAA, placed 6th at the Juvenile Provincials in 2016 and has placed 1st in multiple local tournaments.
