Prior to turning professional, Wey played four seasons (2009-2013) of NCAA Division I hockey with the Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team, helping Boston College to win the NCAA national championship in both 2010 and 2012.

On April 5, 2013, the Washington Capitals signed Wey to a two-year, entry-level contract, [1] and he began the 2013–14 season in the ECHL with the Reading Royals where he scored three points in eight games. On November 14, 2013. Wey made his AHL debut with the Hershey Bears, scoring his first AHL goal on November 24, 2013. [2]

On June 29, 2015, Wey announced he was retiring from professional hockey to pursue educational interests.
