Playoff rematch: This is a rematch of the 2024 Western Conference Quarterfinal, in which the Silvertips dispatched the Giants in five games. The series ended with a 5-0 shutout at Angel of the Winds Arena, sending the Silvertips to second round of the WHL Playoffs for the first time since 2019.
The new bench boss: This will be the official debut of Steve Hamilton as head coach of the Everett Silvertips. Hamilton previously won the Memorial Cup as an associate coach for the Edmonton Oil Kings in 2014 and the Ed Chenowyth Cup in 2012 as an assistant coach. He served as head coach of the Oil Kings for four seasons and head coach of the Calgary Hitmen for six seasons.
An exceptional debut: Also making his official debut tonight for the Everett Silvertips is 2024 first-overall pick Landon DuPont. DuPont, an ’09-born defenseman from Calgary, AB, has been granted exceptional status by the CHL and is eligible to play the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign at just 15 years old. DuPont joins Connor Bedard as the only WHL players to ever have been granted exceptional status. He posted one goal and two assists in three preseason games.
