Playing career

Sanipass started his National Hockey League career with the Chicago Blackhawks in 1987 after being drafted 14th overall in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. He was the first native draft pick out of New Brunswick Everett Sanipass spent 2 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks and then was traded. Sanipass would spend his third season with the Quebec Nordiques.

In 1987, Sanipass was a member of the Canadian U20 Team. This is where he would become famed for his role in the 1987 World Junior Hockey Championship brawl (Punch-up in Piestany) that took place between Canada and the Soviet Union. Both teams left the bench, prompting the referees, who were unable to stop the fighting, to leave the ice surface for their own safety. Officials even tried to turn off the lights with the hopes of causing the players to be so concerned with their own safety that they would stop fighting. Both teams were ultimately kicked out of the tournament for their unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Later in his career, Sanipass would leave the NHL and play for the Halifax Citadels from 1991-1993. He would retire from the NSJHL East Hants Penguins in 1995.
