The Kindersley Jr. Klippers made another addition to their roster on Monday. The team announced the signing of William Christian, coming to Kindersley from the Sherwood Park Crusaders after splitting time in the AJHL and BCHL last season.
Klippers head coach and GM Clayton Jardine shared the following statement upon the news.
"We are excited Will chose to be a Kindersley Klipper. It was evident early on in the recruiting process that this was going to be a great fit for both sides. Everyone I talked to about Will kept bringing up his work ethic and his desire to get better every single day. As a coach, you are looking to bring in these individuals to change the feeling in the room. I have no doubt Will is going to do that for us on and off the ice. Will was free to go wherever he wanted to, and he chose to be a Klipper. We are honoured, and we look forward to welcoming Will and his family to Kindersley in August."
