Brandon Halverson's story
His development came through the Ontario Hockey League, where Brandon Halverson tended goal for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and established his frame and fundamentals against major junior competition. That period in the OHL put him on NHL radars and led to his selection 59th overall in the 2014 draft.
Halverson turned pro after signing an entry-level pact with the New York Rangers on July 2, 2015. He spent time moving between minor-league assignments and brief NHL opportunities; his debut at the highest level arrived on February 17, 2018, when he relieved Henrik Lundqvist and stopped five shots while allowing one goal in a 6–3 loss to Ottawa. After his entry-level contract expired, the Rangers chose not to extend a qualifying offer, leaving him an unrestricted free agent.
He continued his career primarily in the ECHL and AHL ranks. On October 4, 2019, Halverson signed with the Norfolk Admirals, appearing 19 times and earning five wins, and received short-term loans to Providence and Tucson — he played two games with Tucson. He signed with the Wheeling Nailers on November 27, 2020, logging four appearances, then agreed to terms with the Florida Everblades on September 4, 2021 before being released prior to that season. A broken wrist caused him to miss an entire season.
Halverson re-emerged with strong numbers for the Syracuse Crunch in 2024–25: 43 games, a 22–11–8 record, a 2.22 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage, results that earned him co-recipient honours of the Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award when the Crunch tied for the fewest goals allowed in the league. He also made a single NHL appearance for the Tampa Bay Lightning on March 22, 2025 and in 2025–26 set Syracuse's franchise mark for career shutouts with his twelfth.
As a free agent from Tampa Bay, Halverson signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Dallas Stars for 2026–27 and is listed with their AHL affiliate. His profile is that of a tall, experienced netminder who has alternated between AHL steady work and occasional NHL call-ups, with recent seasons marked by improved save percentages and multiple shutouts.
