Brendan Brisson

November 2021 — Ten games into the 2021-22 campaign, Brisson, now a sophomore at the University of Michigan, leads the highly-ranked Wolverines with seven goals and is tied for second on the squad in overall points with 12. Continuing a trend established throughout his NCAA and USHL careers, he’s once again racking up penalty minutes at a minute-per-contest rate, with 12. The 2020 first round selection, a cerebral and deft skater and current linemate of top Kraken prospect Matty Beniers, projects to enter Vegas’ system following the current collegiate season.

October 2020 — Brisson was drafted 29th overall by the Golden Knights. Brisson is expected to play NCAA hockey in 2020-2021 and could leave school after two years.  Jokke Nevalainen

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
