Not sure if posted, but Jon Rosen (LA Kings insider) wrote about Wolf a year ago. Basically, Wolf has strong ties to the Kings through their junior program.
Why did the Kings not use their 7th rounder to take Wolf?
Some tidbits....

“So, did you see what Wolfie did tonight?”
It was a question often accompanied by a sly smile when directed towards GM Rob Blake or Director of Player Personnel Nelson Emerson, whose kids “Wolfie” – that’s up-and-coming goaltender Dustin Wolf – played with as a member of the LA Junior Kings.

“There’d be games where Rob and I would just look at each other and be like, ‘This kid is just amazing,’” Emerson said.

“The commitment that this family made, to do what they did, to move down to LA was just mind-boggling,” Emerson said.

Emerson coached that team, with Blake and CAA Agent Pat Brisson serving as two of the assistant coaches. All had kids on the Quebec team, with Brisson also serving as a close mentor and friend of the family – and now Dustin’s agent – after they had met earlier at a squirt tournament in San Diego in which Dustin had emerged as the top goalie.
