Emily Willmets chose green and gold as her colours of choice heading into the 2025 Canada West Soccer Season.
The Chilliwack midfielder committed to the UNBC Timberwolves women’s soccer team today (Wednesday).
Willmets will soon be graduating GW Graham Secondary.
This season, she took the pitch with both the GW Graham Grizzlies at the high school level, and with Surrey United at the club level.
Her accolades include: Jr. Player of the Year honours with Chilliwack F.C., a Most Inspirational Player Award at GW Graham and the Excellence in Soccer Award at her high school in each of the previous three years.
While coming up through the Surrey United club system, Willmets would frequently play up with the older age-group, and helped the 2006 FV Metro team capture a bronze at Provincials in 2024.
“My strengths are my speed, first-touch and versatility,” explained the newest Timberwolf who plans to pursue a Bachelor of Education at UNBC. During a visit to UNBC in March of this year, Willmets met her future teammates and saw first-hand what coach Neil Sedgwick is all about.”
It’s been a busy spring for the Timberwolves who now have seven new faces committed for the upcoming season.
