Walls is looking forward to wearing the Dryden GM Ice Dogs jersey this season.
“I’m happy to announce I’ve signed with the Dryden GM Ice Dogs for the upcoming season. Having listened to coach Kurt Walsten’s plan and excitement about the upcoming season has be thrilled to have the opportunity to play for the Dudley-Hewitt Cup and possibly have my team come back with me to Chilliwack, in my home province of BC, for the RBC Cup to show everyone what it means to be a Dryden GM Ice Dog. I am looking forward to starting training camp and meeting my teammates and embracing my new home away from home in Dryden come September.”
