EVERETT, Wash. – The Everett Silvertips (@WHLSilvertips), seven-time U.S. Division champion and two-time Western Conference champion of the Western Hockey League, have named Gage Goncalves, Jackson Berezowski, Ethan Regnier, Ronan Seeley (assistant captains) and goaltender Dustin Wolf as added members of the club’s leadership group, joining current co-captains Gianni Fairbrother and Cole Fonstad for the 2020-21 WHL season.

“Our leadership group for this season relies on the voices of experienced and established individuals who understand our culture, know what it takes to win, and dedicate themselves to success every day,” said Silvertips head coach Dennis Williams. “Gage Goncalves, Jackson Berezowski, and Ronan Seeley will each enter their third full season with commitment to serving our program with accountability in these areas. Ethan Regnier’s experience previously in Swift Current has integrated here seamlessly. And even though by position he’s not allowed to officially wear a letter, Dustin Wolf in his fourth year has elevated to a role as a clear leader and strong influence among our group. By joining our co-captains, Gianni Fairbrother and Cole Fonstad in reinforcing these core values, we look forward to everyone’s contribution.”

Last year, Wolf was named co-Most Valuable Player of the Silvertips and earned USA Hockey’s Dave Peterson Goaltender of the Year award (top junior level, U.S. born goaltender), with his international resume including a trip to the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup with Team U.S.A., going 2-1-0-0 with one shutout. The 6-foot, 175-pound goaltender last season was named Canadian Hockey League Goaltender of the Year and recipient of the Del Wilson Trophy (WHL Goaltender of the Year), leading all CHL goaltenders with a 1.88 goals-against-average, .935 save percentage, nine shutouts and posting a 34-10-2-0 record. He was selected by the Flames in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Draft and is 88-31-4-2 with 20 shutouts and a .934 save percentage in 127 career WHL games, all with the Silvertips. He has been a part of two U.S. Division titles and a 2017-18 Western Conference championship.
