Sea Bears sign homegrown product Filewich
Kyler Filewich is coming home.
After a five-year collegiate career that included stops at the University of Southern Illinois and Wofford College (South Carolina), where he led the Terriers to a Southern Conference (SoCon) championship and appearance in the March Madness tournament this spring, the 6-9, 250-pound centre will begin his pro career with his hometown Winnipeg Sea Bears this season.
Filewich, a graduate of Vincent Massey Collegiate, was the top-ranked high school player in the province in 2018 and 2019 before being recruited to play NCAA Division 1 hoops.
He earned Missouri Valley Conference (MVA) all-freshman team honours in his debut season at Southern Illinois. In his final season at Wofford, Filewich averaged 11.7 points and 9.2 rebounds while starting all 35 contests. His collegiate career ended with a bang after being named the SoCon championship MVP and leading the Terriers to the program's first NCAA tournament appearance since 2019.
Filewich will speak with media this morning.
