Biography

Dylan Wiebe is a Registered Massage Therapist who grew up in Portage, Manitoba. While living on the prairies, Dylan had plenty of opportunity to play sports, specifically hockey in the winters and soccer in the summer. As Dylan started to develop into an athlete, he was successfully chosen to play AAA hockey for the Manitoba Panthers and Portage Terriers while later playing junior hockey for the Oakville Seals of the SEMHL.
