It was a memorable first-year for UNBC Timberwolves defender Jamie Wildash-Chan.
The Wellington, New Zealand product was named to the 2025 Canada West Men’s Soccer All-Rookie team today (Friday).
Wildash-Chan exploded onto the scene with back-to-back game-winning goals during UNBC’s home-opening weekend against TRU.
From there, the talented right wing back added three more goals and an assist over the course of 15 games and 15 starts.
His six points matched Isaac Tate for the team lead.
Wildash-Chan’s 1321 minutes played ranked him second on the team – one minute shy of Mark Talisuna for the overall lead.
“Jamie is fully deserving of this recognition,” shared UNBC Men’s Soccer head coach Steve Simonson. “He’s clearly one of the top rookies in the league and we are proud of how he represents UNBC and the Northern B.C. communities.”
Wildash-Chan becomes the third member of the UNBC Men’s Soccer program to achieve Canada West All-Rookie status joining Hagon Kim (2022) and Reid Adams (2019).
