Career

Manning played for New Westminster Salmonbellies Jr. A of the BC Junior A Lacrosse League. With them in 2008, he was named the Inside Lacrosse Indoor Junior Defender of the Year and First Team All Canadian.[2]

Manning was drafted in the first round (sixth overall), in the 2008 NLL Entry Draft. He returned to play for Simon Fraser University for his senior year after being drafted.[3] While playing for the Simon Fraser Clan in the Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League (PNCLL), he was named Division 1 MCLA 1st team All-American in 2008 and 2nd team All-American in 2009 as well as the PNCLL MVP in 2009 and 2010.[4][5] After finishing his degree in Kinesiology from SFU, he went on to study medicine at the University of British Columbia.[6]

In his rookie season with the Calgary Roughnecks, he was named to the NLL 2010 All-Rookie Team.[7] He then played for the Canada men's national lacrosse team at the 2010 World Lacrosse Championship in Manchester, United Kingdom, winning a silver medal with Team Canada. He missed most of the 2011 NLL season in order to concentrate on his medical school studies. Late in the season, he returned to play two regular season and two playoff games after Roughnecks head coach Dave Pym asked him to return because of an injury to Andrew McBride.[8]

During the summers, Manning has played for the New Westminster Salmonbellies in the Western Lacrosse Association. In 2010, he was named to the WLA First Team All-star Team.[9] In 2011, in addition to being named to the WLA First Team All-Star Team he was also awarded the Gord Nicholson Award for best WLA defender.[10]
