Game Report – April 15th, 2026
Everett Silvertips 3 vs Kelowna Rockets 4 OT
Venue: Prospera Place
Brek Liske. #42 Everett Silvertips. January 9, 2008. Right shot defenseman. 6.02 / 187
Description: Above-average sized, two-way defenseman with a reliable, steady presence.
Strengths: Skates well with solid edge work, allowing him to maintain positioning and close gaps effectively. Moves the puck efficiently, highlighted by crisp, accurate first passes out of the zone. Owns a good shot with a quick release, making him a secondary threat from the point. Defensively, he’s intelligent and composed—uses body positioning and an active stick to disrupt plays and limit opponents’ time and space. Competes hard along the boards and shows consistency on the penalty kill. Offensively, he leans more toward playmaking than finishing, contributing through puck distribution rather than goal scoring.
Opportunity: Needs to add strength to better win physical battles and more consistently separate opponents from the puck. Could play with greater urgency in transition to help move the puck up ice faster. At times, forces risky passes in high-danger areas, particularly in front of his own net.
Projection: 4th Round, 115th overall — projects as a reliable middle-pair (top 4) defenseman.
