"Jaxon is a smart puck-moving defenseman who sees the ice very well," commented Silvertips assistant general manager Mike Fraser. "He has very good offensive upside. He makes a lot of things look easy on the ice and will be a big part of our future. We're excited to have Jaxon and his family committed to Silvertips Country."
Pisani skated with Team Grey at the 2024 Alberta Cup logging two assists in five games.
His 2022-23 campaign was a successful one as well, collecting 30 assists in 33 games played.
