Playing career

Junior

Brisebois was selected by the Acadie–Bathurst Titan in the 1st round (5th overall) in the 2013 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 PEI, his teammates voted him captain.[5] Brisebois recorded his first goal as an Islander in his first game.[6]

Professional

The Vancouver Canucks drafted Brisebois 66th overall after acquiring the pick from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender Eddie Lack.[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 AHL affiliate Utica Comets and later 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 on 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 also plays defense for the Jonquière Marquis in the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey.[13]
