Our eighth edition of this season's Wenatchee Wild Stories - Features forward #20 Jackson Ebbott.
Jackson Ebbot is an 18 year old left winger - playing his first season in Wenatchee. Jackson came to the team after splitting last year with the Buffalo Regals U18 program and the Salsbury Scarlet Knights Prep school in Connecticut. Wild Head Coach Chris Clark: “Jackson comes to us with the reputation of being a hardworking, competitive forward who is just scratching the surface of his offensive game. We will work with him to continue to develop his offense, while rounding out his complete game in order to help him gain NCAA interest.” His dad, Chris Ebbott, programs the iconic LA radio station: K-Earth 101.1
Connor: Jackson, Welcome to Wenatchee and thanks for taking time to chat with us. Where do your parents live? Where is home base?
Jackson Ebbott: Sherman Oaks, California – in the L.A. area.
C: What is your favorite NHL team?
JE: The L.A. Kings.
C: Who is your favorite NHL player and why?
JE: Connor McDavid (Center forward/Captain of the Edmonton Oilers) He’s the best by so much. He’s so much better than everybody else – he’s so fun to watch and so skilled..
C: What is your earliest memory of hockey?
CE: I don’t know if it was my first game, but I’d say playing house league for a team called the Tigers.
C: Who inspired you to want to play hockey at a higher level?
CE: Probably my dad – he didn’t even play hockey, but he’s such a competitive athlete, so I became a competitive person and want to be the best at everything I do.
C: What do you like about Wenatchee?
CE: I love my billets, and I love the team we have here. I think we have a very special group of guys in the locker room and we have a ton of fun.
C: What are your favorite places to eat in Wenatchee and what do you order?
CE: The San Francisco Style Sourdough Eatery sandwich shop (in East Wenatchee) – my favorite thing to get there is the garlic pesto sandwich and sweet onion chips.
C: What is your favorite opposing arena to play at and why?
CE: I think Salmon Arm was the most fun this year – they’re really rowdy and really loud and energetic, so it was fun to play there, and they’re a good team, so they’re fun to play against.
C: What is something Coach Clarky has taught you since you joined the Wenatchee Wild?
Jackson Ebbott: He’s definitely helped me mature my game a lot, play a professional-style game and make a play when it’s there.
