Quote

Abram Wiebe entered last year with no college offers.

But that quickly changed for the Chilliwack Chiefs defenseman.

By November, Wiebe heard from 30-40 different NCAA programs.

"I had a really good start to the season," Wiebe said. "I was just over a point per game. When the (BCHL) Showcase hit, I played one of my two best games of the year. That's when teams started funneling in."

Wiebe narrowed it down to four — North Dakota, Omaha, Minnesota State-Mankato and Northeastern. He did Zoom tours of all four spots and settled on the Fighting Hawks.

Who specifically did we beat Michigan and BC/BU for? Genuinely curious.

It says in the article that he was contacted by 30-40 schools.
I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that some of those interested schools were UM, UMN, Bostons, etc being that he was approached by 2/3rds of all NCAA D1 schools.

But he didn't commit on Aug 1st, so there must be a problem.

Tough to judge a kid this early, but he's got very high potential to go very high in the draft. Feels like a classic UND player... Big, gifted, gritty, skilled.

Yep. He's definitely got talent. Damn good get. I've heard some things about him today that make me really excited. Apparently he fell in love with UND because of YouTube and has always wanted to come here. Gotta love that.

Great news! Hopefully we can get Fondrk next year too. Believe they played together.

Big get, really is. Let’s cross our fingers he makes it here. But again, kudos to Bubs…this is a big haul.

Hopefully, he'll mature and bulk up some in the process, though it sounds like he plays a physical game, skinny as he is.   But a lot of kids are skinny at that age.

Celebrini to BU…thought we may of had a chance with him after the Q kid committed. BU bouncing back a bit this year.

Big time get for BU.
Not too much of a surprise with his older brother already committed to BU as well.
