William Neeb, who played for the 16U AAA Connecticut Chiefs, was a star player on his team, registering 25 points in 22 games and his coaches were very impressed with his work ethic, leadership and positive attitude he brought to the group.
"Shortly after being recruited for the 16U AAA Full Season team, Will immersed himself in training with Coach Trent, driven by his unwavering love for hockey.
