Landon Wilson fighting for a spot on the Stars roster.

I have to admit that I am pulling for this guy. I loved watching Landon Wilson play for the Sioux back in the 1990's. It would appear that Landon has a good attitude and that Landon is taking nothing for granted coming into training camp and knows that he has to give it his all if he is going to play a role in the 2008-2009 Dallas Stars.

Landon Wilson might be a coach someday, just like his dad.
But today is not that day. No, the 33-year-old right wing and son of Stars associate coach Rick Wilson says he still has some good hockey left, and that's why he's fighting for a roster spot with the Stars.

"Right now, my only focus is making this team," Wilson said. "If that doesn't happen, then my focus will be helping this team at some point during the season. That's the drive for me."

And that drive is one of the reasons the Stars signed Wilson this summer.

The 19th overall selection (by Toronto) in the 1993 entry draft, Wilson has had an up-and-down career that included a serious eye injury in 2002. He has spent the last three seasons in Europe.
