The Westman Wildcats would like to extend its congratulations to Tori Williams, a 4th year Wildcat from Souris, MB, who has committed to attend school at, and play hockey with, the Mount Royal University (MRU) Cougars in the fall of 2018.  

In 28 league games last year Tori had 5 goals, 12 assists for 17 points. Overall, in 57 games last season, Tori scored 16 goals and added 21 assists for 37 points. During her Wildcats career, she has played 175 games and recorded 60 points. 

From MRU coach, Scott Rivett, “We feel Tori is going to have the ability to step into our line up and contribute right away. She is tremendous kid who is a dynamic skater and likes to join the attack which will fit into our style of play on the big ice. She sees the ice well and has the ability to move pucks out of her zone with ease. We are excited to welcome Tori to our program.” 

Mount Royal University is a member of the Canada West Conference of the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport). It offers 13 Bachelor’s degree programs and has approximately 12,000 full and part time students. At Mount Royal you are not just another number.
