Career Reflection - Landon Wolanin

[jacobcarson877 2,529]

We’re hitting the halfway point in Landon Wolanin’s career. He has been pacing well, and has really found a good home in Calgary. He has a group of players in his age group that keep him motivated and engaged. There is plenty of internal competition and the drive to win is through the roof. A lot has changed of course, with plenty of big names coming and going over the last few seasons. There has always been a great cast of players and more importantly people around Wolanin as he has grown up, from a boy to a man.

 

Landon has seen a lot of growth over the last few seasons on the ice as well. Growing from a half-point a game player to a point a game player, now pushing 100 points a season and fighting to be one of the top 10 scorers in the league. There is not much more room to grow, but some final adjustments will leave Landon set to compete for a scoring title.

 

There is still a lot more to accomplish though.

 

Missing out on the rookie of the year award, and by a long shot definitely hurt at first. The constant playoff failure hurts as well. There is so much yet left to win, and that prospect is definitely exciting. Although the time is ticking, the prospect of success in the future is what keeps Wolanin going. Maintaining form will be incredibly important over the coming seasons as well, with such a high ceiling, there comes a lot of work to keep oneself at that level. Nothing would be worse than watching the seasons of work wash away with age. Sure, one day this story will end, but Landon Wolanin will be fighting to the bitter end. Landon hopes one day his efforts could be entered into the HOF, but until then, he just has to keep his head down and keep grinding away. Only the best of the best get that honour, and he has to prove he is one step above the competition.

 

So far he is one of the best, but that isn’t good enough for the future. He sits in the perfect position to take the mantle of the best winger of his era, but there are still a few players that stand in his way. Just a few more names to hunt down on the leaderboards.

 

Time is ticking.

Had a blast writing this of course but just found out it replaced the Veteran Presence which I have in fact already done.
