1979 - 1994

Defensive Back/Wide Receiver/Return Specialist

If the title "journeyman" was ever more fitting for a player in Pacific Northwest history, Daigle would be the man on the poster.  Beginning with the Spokane Goldenhawks in 1979, Willie held down both sides of the ball for half-a-decade, before making his way to the west side of the state with the legendary Auburn Panthers and finally with the Pierce County Bengals retiring at the age of 42.

Under Head Coach Terry Dion, Daigle served as the Panthers defensive backs and linebackers player/coach for the 1986 season after finishing in a tie for 5th in the league with 6 pass break ups in 1985.  Teammate Greg Henderson led the league with 10.

Even in his forties, Daigle was a threat scoring a pick six on defense and catching a TD pass as a wide receiver.
