I wanted to take a little time to gather my thoughts before posting about the devastating layoffs that took place at The Herald yesterday, when more than half of what was left of the newsroom was lost. 1/

The Silvertips are the Scotty Munro Trophy winners for the WHL's best record. But are there reasons to think this team is any different from past Everett teams that flamed out in the postseason? nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/wil…

I'm checking in from safety, and I'm ready for the Silvertips' final exam of the regular season. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/che…

It's been a lot of good news for the Silvertips of late. But there's one piece of bad news that concerns me. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/02/26/goo…

Did the Silvertips pass their Central Division test? Yes, yes they did. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/tip…

The Silvertips just underwent their annual ritual of having an "x" placed next to their name in the standings, as they continued their streak of qualifying for the playoffs in every season of franchise history. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/x-m…

OK, I know I'm getting a little ahead of things here, but the Silvertips are about to face their biggest challenge remaining in the regular season when they head out to the WHL's Central Division. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/02/05/a-b…

Who is the Silvertips' biggest threat in the WHL's Western Conference. It looks like it's the expansion Penticton Vees, who are hoping to surpass the success of Everett's expansion team in 2003-04. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/01/29/a-n…

Christmastime — and the WHL trade deadline — have passed. But that doesn't mean we can't have a Silvertips wish list. Here's mine. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/01/23/a-s…

Having allowed the trade deadline dust to settle, I did a comparison of the rosters of the WHL's top contenders. So how do the Silvertips stack up? nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/01/16/tak…

What do I feel about the Silvertips' quiet trade deadline day? Disappointment. nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/01/09/dea…

The Silvertips made a series of moves on defense the day before the WHL trade deadline. So what's the big picture? nickhpatterson.wordpress.com/2026/01/08/cur…

@TbirdsFan2889 Everett still held Fisher’s WHL rights after he was reassigned, as long as the Tips kept him on their protected list. It was Fisher’s WHL rights that were traded to Prince George.

@NickHPatterson I got a question so if you send like fisher to a different league does the team still hold the rights that’s where I’m confused
