One of the big additions the Yellowknife Wraiths made over this offseason was the signing of Tegan Atwell. Atwell was previously a cornerback but switched to wide receiver and has been playing there for two seasons now. She has been one of the top receivers in the league as she has been top 5 in both of her previous seasons as a wide receiver. After playing her previous seasons as part of a crowded Otters receiver group, Atwell will get the chance to play a bigger role in the Wraiths' offense. The Wraiths' passing attack took a step back last season as there was no strong second option behind Eric Kennedy at wide receiver. Atwell will be able to provide the Wraiths with another receiving threat to challenge opposing secondaries this season and if she stays around long term, will be the primary receiving option going forward after Kennedy retires at the end of the season. Bringing in a new receiving threat will be especially important with the Wraiths also making a move to bring in Brad Pennington to be their quarterback of the future as they want to surround him with good weapons. Tegan Atwell will be an exciting player to watch in Yellowknife this season as the Wraiths hope to get their offense back to a championship level after missing the playoffs last season.
