Playing career

Williams played college hockey with the Minnesota State Mavericks in the NCAA Men's Division I WCHA conference. In his freshman year, Williams' outstanding play was rewarded with a selection to the 2012–13 All-WCHA First Team.[1]

Upon completion of his junior campaign with the Mavericks, Williams turned professional by signing a two-year entry-level contract with the New York Islanders on April 2, 2015. He was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers to finish the 2014–15 season.[2]

At the completion of his entry-level contract, Williams was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Islanders thus releasing him as a free agent. On September 13, 2017, Williams agreed to a one-year AHL contract with the San Jose Barracuda.[3]

After three full professional seasons in North America, Williams opted to embark on a European career, signing a one-year deal with Slovakian club, HC '05 Banská Bystrica of the Slovak Extraliga on June 26, 2018.[4]
