Does anybody know where this kid ended up? I know that he left from South St. Paul early to play for the Austin Bruins in the NAHL, but I've had trouble finding anything for him lately. Can anybody help me out?

Pilot wanted to fight twice a game he really was nuts. Pilot had a hard time showing up to his classes as a junior in Austin. He was given multiple chances and could not wuite figure it out. Austin did not protect him over the summer so he was a free agent. he played 1 game with the New Mexico Mustangs in the NAHL and was released. He than played a couple games at the Tier 3 level but who wants to pay 8000 dollars to play in a PLEASE BAN ME league????
Pilot jumped too early, I think once Green Bay drafted him he got excited and thought screw HS hockey.
Bad choice

I hope he can get picked up by someone and that he an continue his hockey career. I saw him play when he was at South St. Paul and I thought he had a lot of potential. Good size, good skating ability, and good hockey intelligence.
I agree with untouchable flow

He is just a 94 bithdate, I cant remember how it worked but the Portland Winter Hawks had his rights at one point, his brother is a great guy and was an excellent hockey player (i belive he hurt his knee and had to hang them up)
beimg a 94 i think he is still workable
Reality???
this kid would outwork his opponents every single shift, the kid had a bomb for a shot even in the NAHL, I am an old schooler,I admire a guy that is willing to knock some teeth out along the way, nothing wrong with playing with some jam.
I think Matt Pilot should go to the SIJHL and play for the Iron Rangers or the Wilderness, maybe even the Clydsdales of Duluth. he could play there this year and next year, Than go to the NAHL and join an expansion his final year.
