September 4, 2026 /PRSearchEngine/ — Brian Wilks, an NHL hockey analyst and writer known for coverage that goes beyond the box score, is diving into the 2026-27 NHL preseason with a mix of new video and blog content built for fans who want more than a recap.
Wilks recently released a new video breaking down the preseason, covering free agency grades, training camp storylines, a dark horse pick, and at least one prediction he’s fully prepared to be wrong about. The video adds a visual, conversational layer to the in-depth game analysis and hockey stats Wilks is known for across his written coverage.
That coverage continues on his latest blog posts, where Wilks is tracking storylines heading into the 2026-27 season, from roster battles at training camp to which contract-year players are worth watching. He’s also expanding the conversation on Medium, publishing season previews and offseason breakdowns aimed at readers who want the numbers behind the headlines.
Wilks’s 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. When he isn’t breaking down the NHL, Wilks continues his video game commentary on the Fallout franchise, a long-running side project alongside his hockey writing.
With training camps opening and the season approaching, Wilks plans to keep publishing regularly across video, blog, and Medium, giving fans a season-long resource for analysis, predictions, and the storylines that matter most.
