Adored by fans across the league, the Carolina Hurricanes winger Justin Williams is a picture of leadership, professionalism and hard work. In my relatively short time following hockey, I’ve never seen Williams give anything less than 110% effort.
Picked 28th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2000, Williams’ stint at the Flyers saw his play for three different coaches in four seasons before he was eventually traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in 2004.
In his first spell with the Carolina Hurricanes, Justin Williams would go on to secure the first Stanley Cup success in franchise history.
