Have you tried event.preventDefault() to prevent the event's default behaviour?

this.canvas.addEventListener('mousewheel',function(event){
    mouseController.wheel(event);
    event.preventDefault();

Keep in mind that nowadays mouswheel is deprecated in favor of wheel, so you should use

this.canvas.addEventListener('wheel',function(event){
    mouseController.wheel(event);
    event.preventDefault();
}, false);
