Undrafted netminder Justin BriseBois overcomes challenges to commit to Yale, continuing his family's gilded hockey legacy.
Goaltender Justin BriseBois joined the Sherbrooke Phoenix this season after being passed over in the NHL draft. While the 6-foot-3 left-handed catcher has struggled to adapt to the jump from US high school-level hockey to the speed and competitive level of the 'Q', he has caught some attention, primarily from NCAA colleges down south.
The Greenfield Park, QC, native recently secured a commitment to Yale University. BriseBois, 18, has an .862 over his first nine games with the Phoenix this season.
BriseBois is a second-generation hockey man, making strides on the ice while his father, Julien, is a revered executive and general manager for the Tampa Bay Lightning, which he helmed to two Stanley Cups.
