Taylor Rocha: “Wild Bill.” How wild are you really off the ice?
William Karlsson: “I’m pretty tame. I think that name came up as a sarcastic nickname, and it stuck.”
Q: You don’t really get to pick your nickname. Do you like it?
William Karlsson: “Yeah, I don’t mind it. It has a nice ring to it.”
Taylor Rocha: What were your impressions of Las Vegas before you moved here?
William Karlsson: “I didn’t really know anything except for the Strip — that’s what everyone knows. So I was kind of surprised by how everything looks, especially here on the Summerlin side, and how nice it was.”
Taylor Rocha: Now that you’re settled in, what are your favorite parts about Vegas?
William Karlsson: “I love the mountains. I think it has a calming effect on me. We have lakes around here if you want to go on the water, and just normal life out here — the non-crazy part of town. We’ve got parks and everything. We really do have everything.”
