The 2007-08 season will be the 11th in Willis’ professional career and his fifth in Kalamazoo. Whether it be through physical play or scoring, Willis has been a spark plug for the K-Wings. For four straight seasons (2003-present), the fans voted Willis the team’s WLKM Most Popular Player. In his tenure with the K-Wings, the former 8th round draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks (1995 NHL Entry Draft), has played in 246 games, recorded 182 points (54 goals, 127 assists) and amassed 1,110 minutes in penalties. Willis’ best season as a K-Wing was during the 2005-06 season, when he set personal career highs in goals (20), assists (45) and points (65). Willis has had success at every level of professional hockey he has played, including the AHL. Willis’ best year in the AHL was back in the 98-99 season when he tallied 18 points on 8 goals and 10 assists, accumulating 227 minutes in penalties. |
