During the 2021/22 season, Wiebe netted two goals and 31 points in 54 games. His breakout season earned him a commitment to the University of North Dakota and the chance to hear his name called at this summer’s NHL Entry Draft. The Vegas Golden Knights selected him in the seventh round and invited him to Development Camp this summer.

Entering his third year with the Chiefs, Wiebe is not only known as a leader on the ice but in the community as well. The blueliner spends a lot of time giving back in Chilliwack, including volunteer coaching with the local Special Olympics floor hockey team, according to a statement from the Chilliwack Chiefs.

“I am honoured and humbled to wear the “C” this year with the Chiefs. I’d like to thank my family, friends, and coaches for helping me become the best person I can be. I’m looking forward to meeting all of the new players and working our way to win a championship,” said Wiebe.

The Chiefs extend a hearty and well-deserved congratulations to Wiebe.
