Victoria hosts Everett on Saturday night
The Everett Silvertips weren’t about to pack their duffle bags and abandon the season after the staggering deal that sent the Tips’ two-time Canada world junior championship gold-medallist defenceman Olen Zellweger and veteran forward Ryan Hofer to the Memorial Cup-hosting Kamloops Blazers for 10 future WHL draft selections, including four first-round picks, through 2026.
The Silvertips have more-or-less lived up that vow and are the sixth seed for the Western Hockey League playoffs and preparing for their first-round playoff match-up against the third-seed Portland Winterhawks beginning next week. Up first, however, is the regular-season closing home-and-home set against the Victoria Royals, which began Friday night with the Royals beating the ’Tips 6-4 before 8,249 fans at Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington.
Gibson continued his development at the youth elite level with Langford-based Pacific Coast Hockey Academy and the South Island Royals, representing B.C. in the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, and was selected by Everett 64th overall in the third round of the 2018 WHL prospects draft. “Being a smaller defenceman, I’ve used my hockey IQ on the ice, and the weight room off the ice to increase my speed and strength,” said Gibson.“I’ve taken on more of a leadership role now,” said Gibson.
