Wiebe spent four seasons with the BCHL’s Chilliwack Chiefs, earning the league’s top defenceman award in 2022-23, before joining North Dakota.

Calgary acquired Wiebe, defenceman Zach Whitecloud, a 2027 first-round pick, and a conditional 2028 second-round pick in exchange for defenceman Rasmus Andersson in a Jan. 18 trade with Vegas.

The Golden Knights selected Wiebe in the seventh round (209th overall) at the 2022 NHL draft.
