Canucks veteran Guillaume Brisebois is returning to the organization for an extra year.
The Vancouver Canucks have signed veteran defenceman Guillaume Brisebois to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
A third-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Brisebois has been with the Canucks' AHL-affiliate since the 2017-18 season, playing for both the Utica Comets (2017-18 to 2020-21) and Abbotsford Canucks (2021-22 to present). He is one of only three players drafted by the Canucks before 2016 still with the organization.
Brisebois has served predominantly as a depth defender for the Canucks organization throughout his time with Vancouver. He made his NHL debut on February 14, 2019 against the Los Angeles Kings and scored his first-career NHL goal on March 14, 2023 versus the Dallas Stars.
Though he spent most of the 2025-26 season injured, Brisebois did end up skating in nine games for Abbotsford, scoring a goal and an assists during this span of time.
Brisebois was set to become a free-agent come July 1.
