The Danville Iron are excited to announce our first signing in team history, Wyatt Czapar!

Czapar is joining us from the Bloomington Youth Hockey 18U CSDHL team. When asked about Wyatt, his goalie coach Steve Sommerfield remarked, “Wyatt has a strong athletic base which we will continue to base his game off of. He is working hard thru the summer to improve on positioning, speed and the mental side of goalie to prepare himself for the upcoming season!”
