Greenwood grad Tom Wilson top NHL prospect

Tom Wilson was a hockey hero at Greenwood College School on Mt. Pleasant. Now the talented 17-year-old is playing  right wing for the Plymouth Whalers (Plymouth Michigan) and attracting the attention of NHL scouts from everywhere. He is said to be 33rd in the NHL's mid-term draft prospect rankings. This year's stats: 21 points (6 goals, 15 assists) in 39 games/plus-15/120 penalty minutes. Here is comment from Buzzing the Net:  "The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Torontonian profiles classic power winger who seems to be in short supply in the Ontario Hockey League nowadays. Wilson is a good confluence of skill — the Whalers would not have him paired up with NHL first-rounder J.T. Miller if he didn't — and size. He's also well-aware that he has to tailor his bashing style of play to the new reality of junior hockey"
