Having played more games with Elmira prior to the trade, Wray finished the 76 game season appearing in 78 contests. In seven of his final ten games, he picked up at least one point. Wray lead the league in shots on goal, with 402, and graced the UHL's top 10 scoring list, with a season total of 74 points (37 goals, 37 assists).
