Prince George, B.C. - The UNBC Men's Soccer program, in conjunction with the Canada West Conference announced today that first-year defender Jamie Wildash-Chan (Wellington, NZ) has been named to the 2025 Canada West Men's Soccer All-Rookie team.

After committing to UNBC in April of this year, 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 and Wyatt Lyon for the team lead. His 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).
