Manny Wilson- Junior review

[Jack Johnson 124]

Ever since he was a little child Manny Wilson has loved playing the sport of Hockey. He and his younger brother Caden used to play driveway hockey until the unthinkable happened. A man by the name of John Marcello moved in nextdoor. Marcello happened to be a scout for the Elmer Middle School Tigers, an elite hockey team that had won 3 championships in the last 5 years leading up to this. He watched them play all summer long and he noticed that while Manny had not been the best at goalie he had one of the best shots he had ever seen. And when school started in 2015 he offered Wilson a spot on the roster. At first Wilson did not do so great putting up 3 points in 15 games, but the next winter Marcello and Wilson skated on the nearby Jackson lake. He would see great improvement from Marcello's coaching in his 7th grade year putting up an astounding 35 points in 15 games. After this Wilson decided to play out the rest of middle school and in 8th grade he had improved even more putting up 41 points in 15 games. As this was happening high schools started scouting Wilson and many had him as their number 1 option. He decided to go to Veritas Prep. A charter school that had no hockey team, this was part of his plan though as he became a member of the Bobcats junior hockey team. He scored 54 points in 30 games that year for the Bobcats. He kept playing for them up until he was 18 when he decided he would make a career out of it. He had scouts from the Reapers, Bulls, Marlins and the Hounds. But none of them stuck out as much as the Ottawa Lynx, he had always liked the team as his older brother Jack had an opportunity to be locker room manager for a year. He signed a 1 year 1,500,000 deal with them and that brings us to now. As currently he has 24 points in 18 games Wilson has been a key contributer to the team and is regarded by teammates as one of the most funny, outgoing, happy and kindest person they had ever met. His former coach John Marcello later went on to coach the Tigers and later became Wilson's personal coach as Wilson regards him as one of the best people he has ever met.
