Will Cole is a 5'11" goaltender from Porters Lake, Nova Scotia, playing Junior A with the Chaleur Lightning of the Maritime Hockey League. A 2024 Moncton Wildcats draft pick, Will has advanced to Moncton’s Main Camp in three consecutive seasons and first played Junior A at 16, recording two shutouts in 15 games. In 2025–26, Will set an NSU18MHL single-season record with a .940 save percentage and was named East Coast Ice Jam Tournament MVP. His progression reflects a goaltender who has consistently performed and earned recognition as the level of competition and expectations have increased.

Will’s game is built around precise positioning, intelligent depth management, quick reads and explosive reflexes. His flexibility and controlled movement support strong post play, while his tracking and rebound management help eliminate second opportunities. He approaches the position with a “prevent goals” mindset, using puck freezes, smart touches, passing options and situational awareness to influence more than the initial save. Calm and competitive under pressure, Will has repeatedly delivered in demanding situations and continues to develop a technically sound, intelligent game capable of translating as the pace, skill and quality of competition increase.
