Guillaume Brisebois's story
Longueuil is where Guillaume Brisebois was born on July 21, 1997, and it was as a junior defenceman that he first drew attention for his steadiness at the back. Selected early in the QMJHL draft, his early seasons came with a club that struggled in the standings, yet his defensive play stood out during that period.
After three campaigns with Acadie–Bathurst, he requested a trade and was sent to the Charlottetown Islanders during the 2016 QMJHL draft, in a deal that also involved Jake Barter and returned Luc Deschenes plus draft picks to his former club. Two months into his Charlottetown tenure, teammates chose him as captain and he scored his first goal for the Islanders in his debut on October 2, 2016.
The Vancouver Canucks picked Brisebois 66th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, using a pick acquired in the deal that sent goaltender Eddie Läck to Carolina. He agreed to a three-year entry-level contract in December 2015 and began his pro journey with Vancouver’s AHL affiliates, skating for the Utica Comets and later the Abbotsford Canucks while remaining part of the Canucks organization.
Brisebois made his NHL debut on February 14, 2019, in a 4–3 shootout victory over the Los Angeles Kings. He continued to sign contracts with Vancouver: a one-year deal on October 30, 2020, and after appearing in nine games with the NHL club, a two-year extension in March 2023. His time in the AHL brought tangible success when he won the Calder Cup with Abbotsford on June 23, 2025, and he signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $900,000 with Vancouver on June 30, 2026.
On the ice, Brisebois is characterized by a defensive approach and leadership traits that surfaced early in Charlottetown. His role has consistently been to provide stability on the back end and reliable defensive minutes, qualities that have defined his path through junior hockey into the Canucks’ system. His older brother Mathieu also plays defence at the professional level in the LNAH.
