Career
Wansbrough attended St. Michael's College School, playing for the local St. Michael's Buzzers. He rapidly ascended to being one of the top players in the league and was named league MVP in 1982 while helping his team win the Sutherland Cup as the best Junior B team in Ontario. After graduating, he began attending Bowling Green, joining a team that was already a power in the CCHA. Wansbrough quickly established himself as a goal scorer, netting 20 goals as a freshman, and helped the Falcons repeat as regular season champions. The team easily bowled over their opposition until the title match where they fell to Michigan State in overtime. Despite their stellar record, the loss turned out to be disastrous as BG was passed over for an NCAA tournament bid in spite of possessing a better record and finish than the team selected instead, Minnesota–Duluth.
Spurred on by the slight, Wansbrough's scoring improved in his sophomore season and he helped Bowling Green win their third consecutive league title while leading the club in goals.[2] Their season included a 17-game winning streak and made it all but impossible for the NCAA to ignore the Falcons regardless of their playoff performance.

After graduating with a degree in marketing, Wansbrough played professional hockey for a year before retiring as a player. He returned to the Toronto area and began working in sales for CHUM-FM. He remained in the broadcasting business for 22 years before becoming President of LJ Media Consultants in 2012. While remaining in that position, he concurrently was the Director of National Sales and Marketing for ELMNT FM, holding both positions as of 2021.[5]
He was inducted into the Bowling Green Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991.[6]
