Impact on the 2024-25 Rapid City Rush (Opinion)

Brett Davis did not spend a lot of time with the Rush in the 2023-24 season, but from the time he did play, he seems to be a pretty promising player. When playing with players who complement his skills, Davis can be a massive point producer, whether it is scoring goals or setting up teammates to score. Davis also has quite a bit of speed that can help with breakaways or odd-man rushes up the ice. Standing at 6’2″, Davis also helps add some size to Rapid City, which is something that the team lacked in the 2023-24 season. The 2024-25 season will be Davis’ second season with Rapid City and in the ECHL, and it will be his third professional season.
