Trenton Acquires Wilson

TRENTON, NJ -- The Trenton Devils today announced the addition of former Princeton forward Brett Wilson. The announcement was made by Lowell and Trenton Devils' General Manger Chris Lamoriello.

Wilson was acquired in a trade with the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers. The Calgary, Alberta native spent the last four years with Princeton University (ECAC), where he recorded 46 career goals and 60 career assists in 127 games. Only the 13th player in school history to reach 100 career points, Wilson's mark of 107 points ranks him tenth in Tigers' history. Wilson was a two-time second-team All-Ivy selection (2007-08, 2008-09) and second-team All-ECAC in his junior year. In his first season at Princeton, Wilson was named to the ECAC's All-Rookie team and received the Hobey Baker Trophy as the Tigers' top freshman.

Prior to attending Princeton University, Wilson spent three seasons with the Calgary Royals of the AJHL. In his final season with Calgary (2004-05), Wilson was the league's MVP and scoring champion, netting 98 points (40g, 58a) in 64 games.

A left-handed shooter, Wilson stands 6 feet tall, weighs 180 pounds, and turned 24 years old October 5.
