UNBC Timberwolves add international forward Brooke Sylvester for 2026–27 season

Sylvester visited Prince George in the summer of 2025 and said the experience played a key role in her decision to commit to UNBC.

“I enjoyed the facilities the most,” she said. “I like how everything is close and connected, especially with the addition of the indoor turf field. I also love the environment and nature surrounding the university. Everyone I met was extremely welcoming.”

That sense of connection also extended to the Timberwolves coaching staff and incoming players.

“After the first time I talked with Coach Neil, I remember telling my parents how much I liked his personality and ideas,” Sylvester said. “He had been helping me from so far away, without even knowing I was going to commit yet. I’ve also talked with a few of the girls who are coming in at the same time as me and they are all very nice. I can’t wait to meet them in person.”

Timberwolves head coach Steve Sedgwick said Sylvester made a strong impression during a past camp.

“Brooke impressed when I saw her at camp last year with her approach and quality,” Sedgwick said. “She is a strong student with great character and a willingness to learn and challenge herself. She will be a great fit for the university environment and our program.”

Off the field, Sylvester plans to pursue studies in Biomedical Sciences at UNBC.

The Timberwolves say they are excited to welcome Sylvester and her family to the program and look forward to her contributing to the team when she dons the green and gold this fall.
