Playing career
Amateur
Starting in the 2019–20 season, Wanner played for the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League (WHL). Wanner saw limited action over the next two seasons due to both injury and a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the adversity, Wanner was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the seventh round of the 2021 NHL entry draft, 212th overall.

Over the next two seasons, he put up solid offensive numbers while serving as a presence on the Warriors blue line. He ended up scoring 53 points in 99 regular season games, and 14 points in 19 playoff games, although the Warriors would not make it out of the second round in either playoff.

During the 2022–23 season, Wanner was suspended 17 games by the WHL for an off-ice incident. Details of the incident were not made public, but it was deemed that the incident was non-criminal.
