Although Wagner began playing hockey at the age of three, he also played lacrosse before fully committing to hockey. Wagner began his hockey career with the Blackfoot Minor Hockey Association before joining the Calgary Northstars.
Wagner was drafted in the 5th round of the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft by the Regina Pats. After attending the Pats training camp, he signed agreed to a contract with the team. He scored his first WHL goal in the first period of a 4–3 shootout loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers on December 15, 2013.
