Fireside Chat with Captain Tarin Smith: Defense Upgrades, Comebacks & Culture

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Silvertips Fireside Chat — a new live interview series hosted by Casey Bryant, recorded at Anthony’s Woodfire Grill.

For our debut episode, Casey is joined by Everett Silvertips captain Tarin Smith (Anaheim Ducks prospect) to talk about what’s driving the team’s momentum as they sit atop the Western Conference. They dig into the post–trade deadline energy, why this group keeps finding ways to win late, and what it takes to be “hard to play against” when the playoffs hit.

In this episode:

• The Silvertips’ trade deadline approach — and why adding on defense matters
• New additions Luke Vlooswyk and Kayd Ruedig and how they change the blue line
• The team’s identity: resilience, third-period comebacks, and playoff mentality
• Captaincy and leadership lessons (plus who shaped Tarin’s approach)
• Fan Q&A: farm life, road cities, billet life, and more
