Fraser, who is in his second year with the team, informed Walleye officials on Tuesday that he would be leaving the team.
The 6-foot-2 and 201-pound defenseman is known to play with an edge. Fraser, a 23-year-old Ontario native, signed with the Walleye before the 2021-22 season.

The defenseman has appeared in all 36 games for the Walleye this season and has posted nine points. He has two goals and seven assists. Fraser also has the second most penalty minutes on the team (68).
Fraser played in 62 games for the Walleye last year and had 19 points (5 G, 14 A). He also led the team in penalty minutes with 132.
Before playing in Toledo, Fraser played for Allen, S.C., and Utah in the ECHL. In 189 ECHL games, Fraser has 43 points (15 G, 28 A) and 447 penalty minutes.
The Walleye play three games this weekend at Iowa.
