Last week we profiled one of the top two scoring rookies on the Wolverines – Cale Livingston. This week it’s Brodie Heimbecker’s turn. And just like Livingston, he’s a defenseman looking to help the Wolverines climb the standings in the MJHL’s West Division.
Heimbecker, a 17-year old left-shot blueliner (he turns 18 on Dec. 1) hails from Regina. He played his U-18 AAA last year with the Yorkton Mallers, scoring six goals and adding 18 assists in 44 games. The five foot, 11-inch, 180 pounder already has two goals and two assists this year. Heimbecker says his journey to the Wolverines came about thanks to a suggestion from his former coach. “My defenseman coach from last year with Yorkton put me in contact with Landyn (Cochrane, Wawyway’s Head Coach and General Manager), and he told Landyn a little
bit about me,” he said. “Then I went to his evaluation camp, and had a good feeling about Wayway.” Heimbecker says he’s been adjusting well to the junior A game, noting the pace here in the MJHL is quite something.
