One of the most unexpected things that happened to Edward Williams was getting picked 11th in the SMJHL Draft. However, this was still a monumental moment in his career and he felt it shaped who he is today. He was a phenomenal player in his youth and was destined to do great things. His father pushed for him to go to America after being invited to the Prospect Tournament in New York City. Edward thought he did enough to be picked first round but was humbled that day. It was a blessing in disguise for the Englishman, as he fell to the rebuilding Falcons and played a part in winning the first Detroit cup in 16 years. Williams realized that if teams thought he wasn't good enough for the SMJHL, he would just have to show them. Williams' hunger for glory has continued into the SHL, where he was picked 4th in the S53 Draft. He has yet to win with Texas, but his hunger remains the same.
