Hometown kid Matthew Phillips fired up for Wranglers’ season-opener Flames
“To play pro hockey in itself is a blessing, let alone to be in my hometown and always having familiar faces in the crowd … ” Phillips beamed. “I think it’s such a cool opportunity. It’s going to be tough to have many bad days this year knowing how fortunate I am.”
“I know we’re going to play hard and the way that our coaching staff goes about their business, we’re not going to take any nights off,” Phillips promised as the Wranglers prepared to start a 72-game regular-season slate, which continues with Monday’s rematch against the Firebirds. “Just for fans in Calgary to be able to see prospects and see players that are going to be with the big club eventually, I think that’s pretty cool.
With their top affiliate now headquartered in Calgary, general manager Brad Treliving will be able to watch the could-be call-ups on a regular basis. Phillips was the leading scorer last winter in Stockton, piling up 31 goals and 68 points in 65 showings.
