Each week we take an in-depth look at young members of the organization while providing an overview of prospects playing at the Junior (OHL, WHL), and collegiate (NCAA) level.
The Everett Silvertips, Gianni Fairbrother’s team, is one of the most distinctive teams in Junior hockey. Defence is their identity. It’s not a unique strategy, coaches at every level of hockey put an emphasis on that aspect of that game, but the Silvertips take extra pride in it. Limiting goals is simply what they do; their formula for success.
Over the past six years, the team finished in the top two in goal prevention and they are once again on pace to finish at or near the top this season. Considering the cyclical nature of success in Junior hockey, as veteran players come and go and as teams move from rebuild to contention, this kind of long-term consistency is more than impressive.

MONTREAL The Montreal Canadiens have lost another former first-round draft pick. Defenceman Noah Juulsen was claimed off waivers by the Florida Panthers on Monday. Juulsen, a Surrey, B.C. Native, was picked 26th overall in the 2015 NHL draft. The young defenceman s career was derailed by a series of injuries. In 2018, he suffered a facial fracture when he was twice struck by a puck to the face during a game against the Washington Capitals. He also suffered a number of concussions during his career. In total, Juulsen played just 44 games for the Habs. In the 2017-18 season, his first in the NHL, he played 23 games, scoring a goal and adding two assists. The next year, he played 21 games, adding another goal and four assists.
