Brooks Laich (pronounced /ˈlaɪk/ "like" rhymes with "looks like"; born June 23, 1983 in Wawota, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian ice hockey player with the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League. In 2000–01, he was playing for the Moose Jaw Warriors in the Western Hockey League. Scouting reports noted that he was a steady point scorer who was also prepared to work in a defensive role but he needed to work to develop his body to meet the demands of the NHL. That year, Laich was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the sixth round, 193rd overall. In 2001, he was traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds where he played the remainder of his junior hockey career.
