Brendan Brisson

June 2020 – It was a heck of a draft-eligible season for the first-year USHL centre. He lined up on the most dominant USHL squad we’ve seen in years. And he was the straw that stirred the drink for the Chicago Steel from puck drop in September. His impact on the game was most impressive on the man-advantage where his one-timer from the circle/slot area demoralized many an opponent. He ended the season as the USHL’s Rookie of the Year and a First-Team All-Star. Additionally, he was special at the World Junior A Championships where he racked up a tournament-leading 12 points in just six contests – tying Andrei Svechnikov and Nick Schmaltz for the most ever at that event. Brisson has aligned himself as a first-round prospect and maybe even one that goes early on in the top-20. Cam Robinson
