In 2008, Brisson was named 12th most powerful agent in all of sports by the Sports Business Journal as well as one of the top 100 most powerful people in the National Hockey League (NHL) by The Hockey News. [1][2]
Brisson has a high profile NHL client roster including three consecutive first overall NHL draft picks (Sidney Crosby in 2005, Erik Johnson in 2006, Patrick Kane in 2007). In the summer of 2007, Brisson negotiated over $150 million in contracts for his clients, including an eight-year $52 million deal for Daniel Brière. He has also notable worked with Jaromir Jagr, Sergei Federov and Mats Sundin, a few of the most highly paid players in NHL history.
In the early 1990s, Brisson founded "Skate with the Pros", and "California Dreamin'" youth hockey schools that features NHL stars and coaches as instructors. He was also an important figure in the growth of hockey in Southern California with his involvement with Iceoplex, a chain of ice rinks.[3]
