A special thanks to my skating coach, Tim Murray; my trainer, Billy Kim; and my skills coach, Dean Seymour for your countless hours. I would also like to thank my friends, family and previous coaches for always believing in me. To my billets, Grandpa Dave and Corrie: Thank you so much. Gpa Dougie and Gma for staying up late to watch all my games. Gma Judy: I know you would be proud. Last but not least: My mom, dad and brother Dax for all the sacrifices they have made to this point in my career.” ~Ethan Warrener

“We are excited for Ethan. He is the perfect example of our organization’s commitment to player development. Over the course of the last three seasons, Ethan has earned everything; started down the depth chart and worked his butt off daily to the top and to see him personally grow both on and off the ice has been an absolute pleasure. Ethan is our team leader, plays in all situations and exemplifies what it means to be a Smoke Eater.
