The Winnipeg Sea Bears have added hometown talent to their roster, signing Winnipeg-born centre Kyler Filewich ahead of the 2025 CEBL season.
Filewich, a Vincent Massey High School graduate and former top-ranked player in Manitoba, recently completed a standout NCAA career with Wofford College, where he led the team to a Southern Conference title and NCAA tournament appearance.
Averaging 11.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, he earned SoCon Tournament MVP honours and was named to the all-tournament first team and all-SoCon third team.
“Winnipeg’s own Kyler Filewich starting his pro career as a Sea Bear is a great story,” said Sea Bears general manager and head coach Mike Taylor. “Fresh from leading Wofford to a Southern Conference championship and NCAA tournament run, Kyler brings physicality and skill to our front court.”
Fans will get their first look at Filewich and the Sea Bears when the team opens its home schedule on May 16 at Canada Life Centre.
