Sean Burick’s Vegas Hockey Journey | Vegas Golden Knights News

The Vegas Golden Knights just drafted 18-year-old defenseman Sean Burick in the third round of the 2026 NHL Draft, and he’s already got the grit, game sense, and hunger to make an impact. A standout with the Penticton Vees, Burick brings a plus-25 rating and a relentless work ethic — traits he’s honed by idolizing tough guys like Brayden McNabb and soaking in the Golden Knights’ winning culture. From Southern California to Vegas, he’s chasing greatness — even if he’s still saving his money for golf (not the top courses yet). Off the ice, volleyball helped him grow as a bigger athlete, and he’s still close with his championship-winning club teammates. At development camp, he talked about a big hit that mattered more than the loss, and a wild comeback win where fans threw drinks on the ice. If he could have any superpower? Teleportation — to cut down on his long commutes. And if he had to eat one meal for a month? Pasta and chicken. Breaking Bad is his guilty pleasure, but his future? Hockey, and he’s ready to play through the pain. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
