“I am thrilled to be joining the Anaheim Ducks Organization after signing my first NHL contract,” Wiebe said.
“It is a great opportunity with all of the young talent they have there, and I am eager for the journey ahead. I want to say a big thank you to my family, billet families, friends, teammates, Thunder Creek agency, and all of the supporting staff I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know over the past five years of my junior career.”
Since being acquired from the Edmonton Oil Kings in November, the 20-year-old forward has 11 goals and 27 points in 28 games with the Cougars.
