Forward Connor Wilson committed to Oakland late in the recruiting cycle from the Decatur Blaze (USPHL), its time to find out a little of what brought him here.
Connor Wilson: “I’m excited to begin this journey and be able to play hockey here.”
Wilson: “I made the decision to continue playing hockey here, because I liked the coaching staff and the environment that’s being built.
Wilson: “I was very pleased with the coaching staff, they were super nice and welcoming, and made it clear they wanted me to be a part of this program.”
Wilson: “I would consider myself a playmaker. I can score if the opportunity presents itself, but I am very confident in my passing and vision to set teammates up in good opportunities.”
