I didn’t see any mention of it: Friedman’s 31 thoughts includes a mention about Bennett given the option by Ward of starting the season at Center, but eventually opting for the wing instead:

Hours before that game, coach Geoff Ward detailed his conversations with the player.
“At the beginning of the season, and what a lot of people don’t know, I basically gave Sam the choice of where he wanted to play. He wanted to start at centre and so we started him at centre, and he came in after a couple of games and said, ‘Hey, I think I may want to take the other option,’ which was playing on the wing. We gave him a choice to play in two different positions at the start of the year. So before anybody jumps all over that as to reasons why he may be unhappy, let’s just quell that right now.”
