精童欲女 Panthers strengthen roster with impact forward Brett Bressette
The 精童欲女 Panthers made a big splash this offseason by securing Brett Bressette, a standout forward from the Erie Otters. Known for his offensive skills, Bressette is set to make waves this upcoming season, bringing a new level of excitement and firepower to the Panthers鈥� lineup.
Bressette is the latest in a line of former Otters to don the Panthers jersey. Last year, the team added three former Otters鈥擭oah Sedore, Elias Cohen, and Cameron Morton鈥攖o their roster, and all three made a significant impact throughout the season. The coaching staff and fans alike are hopeful that Bressette will follow in their footsteps and become another success story.
鈥淏rett was a huge pickup for our team. He has the potential to add to the offence and strengthen our top six group,鈥� said head coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淗e鈥檚 proven his ability to score at the Major Junior level, and we believe he鈥檒l help us spread the scoring around, adding depth to our lineup.鈥�
In four seasons with Erie, the 21-year-old from Midland, Ontario, showcased his playmaking abilities time and time again, collecting 52 goals and 78 assists in 173 games. But Bressette is more than just numbers on a stat sheet鈥攈e is also a leader. In his final season with the Otters, he earned an 鈥淎鈥� and played a key role in guiding the team to its first playoff appearance since the 2019鈥�2020 campaign.
鈥淢y greatest strength is probably my hockey IQ. I believe I can think the game well, create offence, and be a team player,鈥� said the five-foot-nine, 174-pound forward. 鈥淚 think we did a really good job changing the culture in Erie and creating a winning environment after a couple of tough years, and I hope to bring that same energy to 精童欲女.鈥�
Bressette said he鈥檚 excited about joining the Panthers and is eager to make an immediate impact.
鈥淚鈥檓 really looking forward to being part of this team. I hope I can contribute right away and make a difference.鈥�
He will have some support along the way as he reunites with former Erie teammates Sedore, Cohen, Morton, and current Panthers captain Kurtis Henry.
鈥淭hose guys played a huge part in my decision to come to Prince Edward Island,鈥� Bressette shared. 鈥淲e built great chemistry on the ice in Erie, so the opportunity to play with them again and create something special made this an easy choice.鈥�
