Whitaker Rewertz (D, Jr.) appears to be ready to pull double duty. On June 30, 2026, he signed with the Penticton Vees of the Western Hockey League, planning to play for the Vees around his junior season at Hibbing/Chisholm.
The 5-foot-10 left-shot defenseman put up 50 points last season, 23 goals and 27 assists in 31 games, on a Hibbing/Chisholm team that reached the Class A state final. He was productive as a freshman too, posting 23 points in 29 games. Rewertz also played for Team TDS in the High School Elite League, and suited up for the USA-S16 National 16U camp, picking up two assists in five games. The Sioux City Musketeers took him in the fifth round of the 2025 USHL Futures Draft before the WHL opportunity came together.
Fifty points from the blue line on a Class A state finalist, as a sophomore is crazy.
He and Cole Swanson combined for 113 points as sophomores on a 28-win team, and Hibbing/Chisholm’s hopes of going back-to-back in Section 7A run through both of them.
