History
After ending up as the top scorer in the Elite Junior League in both the 2001-02 (19 goals and 46 points in 32 games) and the 2002-03 season (29 goals and 51 points in just 28 games), Wick was given the chance to sniff up experience at the NLA level this year with Kloten Flyers. Led by Russian coaching legend Vladimir Yursinov, Wick failed to continue his goal scoring surge. As Kloten Flyers struggled all season with injuries the team missed the playoffs and Wick could only manage 1 goal and 1 assist in 20 games.
Later on in the season Wick showed some of his class when on a loan spell to 2nd Division La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 6 games he found the net 4 times. And when returning to Kloten to play the relegation series, Wick put up 3 goals and 4 points in 7 games.
Wick moved to the WHL in 2004-05.

Talent Analysis
The 6’1 forward’s game is not based on power. He is a technical player that is always looking to beat his opponent one-on-one. He excelled with it during his junior spell but at the pro level more is needed and therefor Wick needs to bulk up and learn to play a more physical game. The lack of size was the reason why he was overlooked for the Swiss U20 team at the last World Junior Championships. He has been in most NHL scouts’ notebooks for quite some time, but Wick needs to take that next step to reconfirm his status as a true prospect.
