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. ^[4] 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. ^{[5] [6]} After finishing his degree in Kinesiology from SFU, he went on to study medicine at the University of British Columbia. ^[7]

He missed most of the 2011 NLL season in order to concentrate on his medical school studies.
