Catching The Torch: Gianni Fairbrother could have an NHL spot in his future

Each week we take an in-depth look at young members of the organization while providing an overview of Montreal Canadiens 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.
