Ice hockey player
Braeden Cootes (born February 9, 2007) is a Canadian ice hockey player who is a centre for the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League (WHL) while under contract as a prospect to the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] He was drafted fifteenth overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2025 NHL entry draft.[2]
Cootes was captain of the Seattle Thunderbirds in 2024–25, the youngest captain in the Western Hockey League, and scored 26 goals and 37 assists in 60 games.[3] It was speculated the Canucks would target Cootes leading up to the 2025 draft.[4] He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks on July 10, 2025.[5]
On October 6, 2025, the Canucks announced that Cootes made their opening night roster.[6] Cootes was the first 18-year old to earn a spot on Vancouver’s opening night roster since Petr NedvÄ›d in 1990.[7] He made his NHL debut on October 9, 2025, in a 5–1 victory over the Calgary Flames, logging 11 minutes and 14 seconds of ice time.[8] After going pointless in three games, he was returned to the Seattle Thunderbirds on October 14, 2025.[9]
Cootes captained Team Canada to a gold medal winning U18 world championship, scoring six goals and 12 points in seven games.[10][11]
