The Winkler Flyers are pleased to announce that graduating Assistant Captain Will Blake has committed to the University of Wisconsin-Superior (WIAC – NCAA Div III) for the 2018-2019 season. Blake had his best season in the MJHL this past year with 44 points (16 Goals – 28 Assists) in 60 regular season games, adding another six points in the playoffs.
“I’d like to thank my teammates, coaches, trainers and all the other Winkler staff for a great two years wearing the Flyer jersey,” said Blake.
“It was an unforgettable experience and I’ve made many memories and relationships that will last a lifetime. I am excited to head to school and play for the University of Wisconsin-Superior hockey team next year. It will be an exciting new chapter in my life and I feel very prepared from everything I’ve learned here in Winkler.” Added Blake.
Blake, who calls Champlin, Minnesota home, finished his two years in Winkler with 82 points (29 Goals – 53 Assists) and 90 penalty minutes in 119 regular season games. He also served as an Assistant Captain this past season.
The Flyers would like to wish Will all the best with the Yellow Jackets next season. Former Flyers’ Captain Connor Hamonic also plays for Wisconsin-Superior.
