Playing career[edit]
Junior[edit]
Manson moved to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan following the end of his father’s playing career. Manson wasn’t initially interested in ice hockey and was debating whether to try out for the midget team.[2][3] During the 2008-09 season, Manson committed to play for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).[4]
Manson became a defenceman during his second season with the Silverbacks, following injuries to the lineup and elected to develop himself in the position.[5]
Manson recorded 12 goals and 35 assists in 57 games with the Silverbacks, which earned him consideration to be selected in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.[4] Prior to the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Manson accepted a scholarship to play NCAA Division I ice hockey for Quinnipiac University for the 2012–13 season.[6] Manson was drafted in the sixth round, by the Anaheim Ducks.[7] Following his selection, Manson opted to transfer from Quinnipiac to Northeastern University.[4]
Collegiate[edit]
Manson joined the Northeastern Huskies men’s ice hockey team for their 2011–12 season, where he played in 22 games and recorded four points.[8] The following season, Manson recorded his first collegiate goal in overtime against the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.[9] During his junior season, Manson was named team captain.[10] He was selected as HE Best Defensive Defenseman[11] and was named to the 2013–14 Hockey East Second All-Star Team.[12]
