Powell came from junior hockey leagues to the FPHL Danbury Titans in the 2016-2017 seasons, he joined the Watertown Wolves for the next four seasons where he has led the league in scoring and won the commissioners Cup in 2017

Johansson also said they did plan to have special theme nights during home games, and very affordable single and season ticket plans.
