Landon first started his love of hockey by randomly seeing it on TV while he was flipping channels. Being from California, hockey wasn’t a highly popular sport (at least not at that time) so he started playing just in house in the local area. From there, he was recruited to go to Shattuck-St. Mary’s school in Faribault, Minnesota. From Minnesota he was able to have more scouts see him, eventually verbally committing to the University of Nebraska-Omaha to play D1 hockey there. Unfortunately, a knee injury caused that scholarship offer to be rescinded, so Landon went to play D3 hockey for a year at University of Wisconsin-Superior. After a stellar freshman year, he was offered a scholarship to transfer to the University of Denver. He was fortunate enough to go from there and be drafted in the SMJHL by the Vancouver Whalers, and obviously now he helps anchor the back end for the Seattle Argonauts who are back to back SHL champions.
