History

2005-06: He scored five goals and added 21 assists in 68 games this year as he became a real go-to guy for the Spitfires. 

Weber surprised a lot of people winning the hardest shot in the Top Prospects Skills competition. The native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania played against the opponents best players often and paired with Mitch Maunu. They proved to be one of the most physical twosomes in the league.

Talent Analysis

Weber is a big, strong, and mobile defenseman who has the kind of size and physical play that coaches want. Earlier in Junior he concentrated on defense but lately he has became more offensive, ending up as the second leading scorer on the Spitfires among defensemen.

Weber has a winning work ethic, taking no prisoners every shift and Weber himself says the strength of his game is that he keeps it simple. He makes a lot of tape-to-tape passes out of the zone and he can be very nasty at times claiming his territory in front of the net. Weber dishes out some crunching body checks and amassed 181 minutes in penalties.
