It was a season of ups and downs for Josh Brook as the inconsistency that plagued him in his draft season continued in 2017-18. He has all the tools to be a dominant WHL defender night in and night out, but those only occasionally come together for memorable performances.
Brook started the season on fire after missing close to two months of action due to a wrist injury he suffered in last summer’s rookie camp. The Moose Jaw Warriors, who were already dominant without their number-one defencemen, got a boost from his return. It pushed them over the top, with their attack, especially, benefiting from the involvement of the blue-liner.
