Michael Wilson is simply enjoying the ride.

After wrapping up an illustrious prep hockey career at Fond du Lac High School last year, Wilson took his talents to the United States Hockey League where he plays for the Omaha Lancers.

The Lancers are part of a junior hockey league that is essentially a stepping stone to play at the next level. The Nebraska team is in the same league as the Green Bay Gamblers.

Once Wilson's prep career ended, Wilson became part of the team despite still being in high school. The USHL allows anyone from age 16 up to play until they are 21.
