Ryan pilon shift by shift with commentary
Ryan Pilon (born October 10, 1996) is a former Canadian ice hockey defenceman. He played in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Brandon Wheat Kings. Months after being drafted, Pilon announced his intentions to quit hockey. Projected as a potential first round pick, Pilon's ranking fell significantly leading up to the 2015 NHL draft.
Pilon was selected 3rd overall by the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. He played with the Hurricanes until early into the 2013–14 WHL season when he was traded to the Brandon Wheat Kings. While skating with the Wheat Kings, Pilon's high-end play was rewarded when he was invited to skate in the 2015 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.
