Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

2008-09: Even though he saw his season limited to just 32 games on one of the worst teams in the WHL, Phoenix still saw something in Weller enough to pick him up in the fourth round.

Talent Analysis

A defensive defenseman who only has seven points to show for two seasons in the WHL, Weller is a hard-worker with upside. His positioning is his strength and he keeps his game simple – he does not often take risks. He plays a physical brand of hockey and is a mobile skater for his size. However, he needs to make better decisions under pressure and improve slightly on his skating.

Future

Weller should get a chance to be Red Deer's top shut-down defender this season.
