Brent Sopel making impact for Wolves

By Brian Sandalow

Brent Sopel’s been hard to miss.

When a Wolves player does a media appearance it’s usually Sopel. He’s in the middle of an #InkMe campaign inviting people to design his next tattoo, and he’s become a popular and respected player with the Wolves and their fans.

Some of this has been a surprise to Sopel, who was a member of the 2010 Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks but may have underestimated his prominence with Chicago hockey fans. Four years removed from that, there still seems to be an interest in Sopel and what he’s up to.
