Landon Wilson was born on March 13, 1975 in St. Louis, Missouri.[citation needed] At the time, his father Rick Wilson was in the first of his two seasons playing for the St. Louis Blues. The Wilson family went on to move eight times over the next 18 years as a result of Rick\'s playing career and coaching career.[citation needed] As a youth, Wilson played in the 1989 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Oyster Bay, New York.\n', '

By 1989, the Wilson family settled in the Los Angeles, California area where Rick spent three seasons on the coaching staff of the Los Angeles Kings from 1989-1992. Landon spent his first three years of high school at El Segundo High School, where he played football quarterback and led the high school to league championships in 1990 and 1991.[citation needed] While living in the Los Angeles area, Landon also played hockey for the Junior Kings, who won the national 17-and-under championship in 1992.[citation needed] \n', '

London\'s father was hired as an assistant coach with the Minnesota North Stars in 1992, and Landon gave up a promising senior year of football at El Segundo due to his family\'s move to Minnesota. As a result of the move, Landon decided to focus on hockey rather than football during his senior year of high school.[citation needed] \n', '
