Joined MCRC: July 2016
Kerry Wiebe joined the MCRC during the summer of 2016. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Kerry discovered rugby in his high school years. Quickly finding his niche at centre, he proudly represented the Province of Alberta at junior and senior levels and Canada at U19 but ultimately never earned his senior cap.
After finishing in his undergraduate degree in Athletic Therapy at the University of Alberta, he earned a rugby scholarship to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, and enrolled in the Chiropractic curriculum. During his time at Palmer, he played both hockey and rugby. Additionally, he became the President of the Palmer Rugby Club and helped lead his team into the USA Rugby Men’s Club Division 1 playoffs, reaching the Final Four in 2001.
As a Doctor of Chiropractic and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Coach Wiebe combines his love of sport and passion for health and fitness. He and his wife moved to Burlington, Vermont in 2001 to open a private practice. He quickly became involved with Burlington Rugby, playing from 2002 to 2004, then transitioning to a coaching role for the next few years. He and his wife provided medical coverage to the team for many seasons following.
Kerry has stayed involved in various sports over the years. In addition to coaching rugby, he coached Junior (U20) hockey for almost 10 years before taking the Assistant Hockey Coach position at Essex High School, going on to win 4 State Championships in 6 seasons. Kerry brings a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion to the game of rugby, and hopes to lead the MCRC into a new era of success in the years to come.
