[caps05]

Milwaukee, WI-Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forward Kelsey Wilson to a one-year, two-way contract.

Wilson returns to North America after one season with EC Red Bull Salzburg, which he helped win the Erste Bank Liga (Austria) title in 2009-10. The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., native led the Austrian League in penalty minutes (265) while amassing 40 points (16g-33a) in 70 games a season ago. Prior to his season abroad, Wilson spent three campaigns with Milwaukee, leading the Admirals in penalty minutes in all three seasons (2006-09). In 2008-09, the Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., native was one of just four AHLers to post at least 30 points (15g-17a-32pts) and 150 penalty minutes (160), and in 2006-07, he led all AHL rookies in penalty minutes (215).

Originally signed by Nashville as an amateur free agent on Oct. 6, 2006, the 6-1, 214-pound left winger has 70 points (32g-38a) and 554 penalty minutes in 220 American Hockey League contests.

Two years ago, I took my daughter to her first Admiral game. We got there early enough so we could watch warm ups. We were lucky enough to get ice level on Admirals side. I was telling her who my favorite player was (Wilson). She was wearing her brand new Admirals cap. I was politely yelling encouragement to Wilson when he stopped and gently flipped a puck to me to hand to my daughter....very cool. My daughter remembering her manners yelled thanks to Wilson who gave her a nice wink. Extremely cool memory for me and especially my daughter.
