Josh Wilson Position - C Height - 6’2 Weight - 220 Shoots - Left Playstyle - Powerforward Nationality - Canadian Player Overview With a solid frame, and willingness to go into the dirty areas, Wilson has a knack for winning puck battles all over the ice. He has a very heavy shot, with the ability to score from anywhere in the offensive zone. In addition to developing offensive skills, his positional awareness and physical attributes allow him to create havoc near the crease, in both zones of the ice. Bio An older rookie at 27, Wilson has grinded his way through the ranks over the years. A few years dealing with injuries lead to an early retirement. However, with a lot of hard work, dedication to excellence, and most importantly a deep passion for the game left him hungry for more. Wilson battled his way through various levels of hockey through the years, yearning to live the VHL dream. Wilson has experience all over the ice, with the ability to play all 5 skater positions. Originally a scoring forward as a youth prospect, Josh volunteered to switch to defence to help his top-heavy team and quickly became an effective two-way defenceman. After a few strong seasons on the back end, he switched back to forward and regained his hunger for scoring goals. Pros Wilson is a presence in the lineup. He is noticeably physical on the forecheck and verbally involved both during and after the play. This often leads to a power play as he definitely has an ability to get under the skin of his opposition. Wilson can be an effective shut down player due to his strong defensive background. He has an active stick and solid positioning. With the puck, Josh is capable at producing offence one-on-one with defenders, as well as by distributing the puck effectively. He has good vision and likes to feather some sauce to his teammates. Wilson has a special ability to get his stick on the puck in scoring areas around the net, which allows him to score goals - something he definitely enjoys. His heavy shot allows for him to generate scoring chances from all areas of the offensive zone Cons Josh Wilson is currently a very poor skater. He has absolutely no foot speed, it seems as though he is wearing skate-weights. Wilson cannot seem to stay on his feet, weather he is getting hit, laying a hit of his own, shooting the puck, etc. He’s more than likely going to fall afterwards. He even trips over his own feet while doing cross overs. Faceoffs are another area of concern for Wilson. If he wants to continue as a center throughout his career, he needs to drastically improve his faceoff skills. He currently loses a majority of the draws he takes. While not lacking in size and strength, Wilson could also stand to improve his hitting in order to become an elite powerforward. Former coaches have claimed Wilson can be inconsistent in his tendency to line up opponents with open ice hits. Claiming he often chooses to simply poke check the puck instead of taking the body, in offensive opportunities. Discipline has also been a problem for Wilson, as he is not afraid to drop the gloves and has a tendency to often find himself in post-whistle antics. Future Outlook Debuting in S65, Josh Wilson has all the tools available to become a future star in the VHL. With a strong defensive game, and promising offensive skills, an inadequate skating ability currently holds back Wilson’s development.

1. How satisfied are you with your player's performance so far this season? — While I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied, as I would like to produce more offence, I’m pleased that I’ve had a solid +/- and have been able to help the team win in other ways like hits and a strong two-way game. 2. What about your team, how are things going with the team? Would you run things differently? — With the 21st in 2nd place, I have to say the season is moving along nicely and the team has been run excellently. 3. The Las Vegas Aces seem to have separated themselves from the rest of the teams. Do you think they can keep it up until the end? — Nope. We will catch them! 4. What other player in the league do you hate to play against? — I love to play against everyone. The best players provide a fun challenge and allow me to improve my game.  5. Besides hockey, obviously, what other sports do you like to play casually or watch? — Really big into baseball, but unfortunate my Blue Jays aren’t looking too strong this upcoming season. Hopefully some of the youth can take off. 6. If you had the power to relocate a VHLM team, where would you put it and what would you name it? — Kelowna could use a team... how about the Kelowna Kodiaks?
