"Levi is a great addition to our defensive unit!" said Waldorf Head Coach Ty Prater. "He consistently makes the right play and is very smart with the puck. In the defensive zone, he always has his man. On offense, Levi always makes the smart first pass and moves the puck well. He's a solid defenseman that can be counted on in any situation. I'm excited to see how Levi continues to develop during his career here."
