Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. Finck and the team agreed to terms on September 27th.

"Dan had a great rookie season, and will be a key part in the success of our team this coming season" said Wings General Manager and Head Coach Lindsay Sanderson. "Dan has been working hard and playing great over the summer for the Barrie Lakeshores of the Ontario Lacrosse League, he has really impressed me with his dedication to improving his skills."
