Guillaume Brisebois (born July 21, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Junior

Brisebois was selected by the Acadie–Bathurst Titan in the first round (5th overall) in the 2013 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) draft.[1] Though the team placed last in 2015, he earned praise for his defensive play.[2] After playing for three years, he requested a trade and was subsequently dealt during the 2016 QMJHL draft to the Charlottetown Islanders, along with defenceman Jake Barter, in exchange for Luc Deschenes, a second-round pick in 2017 and a first-round pick in 2018.[3][4]

Two months after arriving in Charlottetown, his teammates voted him captain.[5] Brisebois recorded his first goal as an Islander in his first game on October 2, 2016.[6]

Professional

The Vancouver Canucks drafted Brisebois 66th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft after acquiring the pick from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender Eddie Läck.[7] In December 2015, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks.[8] Beginning in 2017, Brisebois regularly played for the Canucks American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets, and later for the Abbotsford Canucks.[9]

On February 14, 2019, Brisebois made his NHL debut with the Canucks in a 4–3 shootout win against the Los Angeles Kings.[10]

On October 30, 2020, Brisebois re-signed with Vancouver to a one-year, $700,000 contract.[11] In March 2023, after appearing in nine games with the team, Brisebois signed a two-year extension with the Canucks.[12]

Personal life

He is the younger brother of Mathieu Brisebois, who plays defence for the Jonquière Marquis in the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey.[13]
