Player to Watch: Luke Graham, D
A multi-sport star in soccer, golf, and basketball,
Luke Graham has quickly become a favourite every time he takes the pitch in Prince George. Smooth and athletic, what the first-year defender lacks in experience, he makes up for with tremendous athleticism. The Chillwack product has played more than 1000 minutes in his rookie campaign, and figures to be a big part of the TWolves program moving forward.
