Playing career

Junior

Described as an, "intelligent, two-way defenceman" Brisebois was selected by the Acadie–Bathurst Titan in the 1st round in the 2013 QMJHL Draft. During his time there, which saw them place dead last in 2015, he was called one of the team's few "bright spots". After three years, he requested a trade and was subsequently dealt during the 2016 QMJHL draft to the Charlottetown Islanders along with defenceman Jake Barter in exchange for Luc Deschenes, a second-round pick in 2017 and a first-round pick in 2018.
Two months after arriving in PEI, his Islanders teammates voted him captain. He recorded his first goal as an Islander in his first game.
The Vancouver Canucks drafted Brisebois 66th overall after acquiring the pick from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for goaltender Eddie Lack. In December 2015 he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks.
On February 14, 2019 Brisebois made his NHL debut with the Canucks in a 4–3 shootout win against the Los Angeles Kings.

He is the younger brother of Mathieu Brisebois, who also plays defense professionally for the Nottingham Panthers in the Elite Ice Hockey League.
