Head Coach, Dan Eliasson, comments “from our very first camp and throughout the rest of our selection process, Landon has exemplified the character, commitment and qualities that embody Team Manitoba… his natural leadership skills, his work ethic and the positive relationships he has with the other nineteen members of the roster made him a natural choice to lead our team on the ice.”
