Williams has always been a hockey player. For the moment he was born his Grandpa made sure to teach him the sport. From watching the local Detroit club in the SMJHL, to rooting for the Calgary Dragons. Williams was always watching hockey. He picked up a lot of good things those early years just from watching. He was on skates at 3 years old and was quickly learning how handle the puck with his stick. By the time he was old enough to play in leagues, Williams quickly excelled to be the best player. He was always the fastest skater and one of the best shots. What set him apart from the rest of the young players was his ability to read plays, offensively and defensively. During his young days he made a friend from Chicago that played in net. That same net minder would stick with him in his Junior days as well as his professional days in New Orleans.
