Wolves Head Coach Ryan Leonard had nothing but kind words for Will, who was selected as part of his core leadership group this past summer. “Will has been a steady defenseman for a number of years in this league, and will definitely be a huge asset for the Lakers. He was instrumental in building a strong culture for our new program, and we would like to thank Will for everything he’s done for us during his time in Renfrew.”
