Weber first played organized ice hockey at age six. Growing up, he played in the Sicamous and District Minor Hockey Association.
Shea Michael Weber born on August 14, 1985, is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman under contract with the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). His mother, Tracy, was a hairdresser, and his father, James Weber, was a sawmill worker. Weber first played organized ice hockey at age six. Growing up, he played in the Sicamous and District Minor Hockey Association, a division of the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association (BCAHA), often switching between forward and defenceman positions. In Weber’s second year of bantam, he permanently switched to defense.
He credits his father for convincing him to make the switch because he thought Weber would “have a better shot at a pro career as a defenceman”. Between the ages of fourteen and fifteen, Weber grew 5 inches, from 5-foot-9 (1.75 meters) to 6-foot-2 (1.88 meters). He played sixteen seasons in the NHL for the Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens. He is known to have one of the hardest shots in hockey history. Weber has a brother, Brandon, who is two years younger than him. Brandon grew up playing hockey with Shea’s former Predators teammate Cody Franson.
Drafted in the second round, 49th overall, by the Predators in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Weber spent eleven seasons in Nashville until being traded to Montreal in 2016. He previously played for the Sicamous Eagles of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League (WHL), and the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL). Weber has represented Canada at a number of International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF)-sanctioned events, winning a World Junior Ice Hockey Championship gold medal in 2005, an Ice Hockey World Championships gold medal in 2007, and two Olympic gold medals in the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics.
