KYLE WILSON
Colgate
Sr. | F | London, Ontario


Wilson's production slipped in 2004-05, but he was still Colgate's fifth-leading scorer.


 

Key Statistics: Despite missing eight games in the second half of the season with a broken foot, Wilson still managed to finish fifth on the team in scoring with 23 points. His 18 assists tied for the team lead and three of his five goals came on the power play.

What He Does: Wilson doesn’t have the flash or sizzle that gets other forwards noticed. He just makes smart plays with the puck and excellent reads. His anticipation makes him very valuable in a penalty-killing role.

The Bigger Picture: Wilson will need to provide more than offense for the Raiders if they want to stay near the top of the ECAC Hockey League. Colgate has lost eight seniors that regularly played in the lineup last year including leaders such as Darryl McKinnon, Adam Mitchell, and Joey Mormina. Wilson will wear an “A” this year.

Colgate head coach Don Vaughan on Wilson: "He brings a lot of offensive presence. He has great instinct … It motivates the other guys. They know what he brings to the lineup.”
