Fans will get a chance to see/hear about our newest player, defenceman Gianni Fairbrother. Gianni previously played three seasons with the Everett Silvertips of the WHL. In 134 regular season games he scored 17 goals, had 49 assists for 66 points. In 32 playoff games he scored 1 goal, had 7 assists for 8 points.
GM and Head Coach Darren Naylor remarked: “Gianni is another player both Wes and myself are very familiar with from our Burnaby Winter Club days. He also played on some of the same spring teams as several current Clippers. When a player like this is available, we have to jump on it, as he adds instant credibility to a fairly new defence core. Gianni is a tremendous skater and will run our PP. He also plays with an edge and his compete level is through the roof. I am extremely happy to have Gianni come on board and welcome his experience.”
