At the age of 18, defenseman Ryan Pilon has decided to leave the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings.
“Ryan came to me this week and told me that at this time he has lost his passion to play hockey and will be leaving the team,” Brandon coach and GM Kelly McCrimmon said, according to Sportsnet.

Plenty of people, myself included, were high on Pilon going into the draft. I was wishing the Flames would have taken him in the 2nd or 3rd round and was shocked he slipped all the way to the 5th.
Good for him for walking away if he doesn't want to do it anymore, and more ice time for Oliver Kylington?
