August 11, 2026 /PRSearchEngine/ — Brian Wilks, an NHL hockey analyst and writer known for coverage that goes beyond the box score, has announced a new blog series launching on Medium. The series will track hockey happenings throughout the NHL offseason and build toward a full preview of the 2026-27 season.
Wilks has built a reputation for in-depth game analysis and hockey stats that dig into what standard recaps tend to miss — line combinations, deployment patterns, and the numbers behind why teams win or lose. His new Medium series extends that approach into the offseason, a stretch of the calendar he considers just as revealing as the regular season itself.
Early installments of the new blog series will cover free agency fallout, roster construction heading into training camp, and storylines shaping the league before puck drop. Wilks plans to continue the series throughout the season, with regular posts breaking down trades, standings shifts, and the trends worth watching.
Readers can follow along as the series unfolds on Medium, where Wilks will also continue occasional detours into his other passion: video game commentary, including his ongoing coverage of the Fallout franchise, available on his blog.
Wilks’s hockey coverage spans the NHL, NCAA hockey, and Hockey Canada, with a particular focus on prospect development and the pipeline from college and junior hockey to the professional game.
