William Belle’s a powerful winger with a strong motor. A hard-hitting forechecker, he launches himself into opponents, forcing steals and pushing the breakout back. He's also a determined defensive player, working hard to get above the puck and push the attack wide. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
