Colin Wilson's father, Carey, was in the NHL during the 1992 NHL players' strike. This is obviously a lockout as opposed to a strike, and the 1992 strike only lasted 10 days, but still this means that two generations of Wilsons have been involved in NHL labor stoppages. "He's more of a 'don't burn yourself out' kind of guy," Wilson said. "He doesn't think I should be skating right now. I'm kind of exceeding his expectations right now. He told me to lay low and not get too bored and keep moving, so that way it doesn't seem as long." Colin has been practicing with some of his fellow locked-out players at A-Game Sportsplex. He hasn't ruled out the possibility of playing in Europe.
