Huge pick up for Brendan Whittet and his staff hauling in former Austin Prep goaltender Elijah Harris. Great goaltender with good reflexes. He's a student of the game, loves learning the position and he's a great kid.

Did anyone see Harry Z and Bobby Farnham play against the Providence Bruins?

I looked Harris up and found this article from about a year ago. Sounds like a real keeper! (Get it? ...I'll stop now).

Naclerio was an obvious choice for co-captain as far as I'm concerned. He has a great work ethic. He'll provide quiet, effective leadership.

We're very proud of our perfect academic progress record for the past six years. Let me assure you that the record has remained perfect as far as the class of 2014 is concerned.

Curious to hear the Brown fan perspective on Perl, who will assume a position on the Harvard bench . I know he was only at Brown for 1 yr, but curious if there was impact.

Re: Brown Hockey 2014-2015 - Onward and Upward

I was just thinking- Whittet's playoff record is pretty hit-or-miss, isn't it?

2010: Beat RPI 2-1; beat Yale 2-1; lost to Cornell; won 3rd place game vs. SLU
2011: Swept at QU
2012: Swept at QU
2013: Beat Clarkson 2-0; beat RPI 2-1; beat Quinnipiac; lost in championship game vs. Union
2014: Swept at SLU

So it's either get swept in the first round, or go on an improbable run to Albany/Atlantic City. Nothing in between.

I suppose I'm ok with this, so long as the improbable deep runs balance out the early exits. 2014-15 will be a big year for Brendan in terms of establishing the program as a consistent, long-term contender.

One of our player's parents is saying on Twitter that Rossi is tranferring to SCSU.
Anybody know anything on this?

Belay that request for info. We may have gotten our signals crossed. We just picked up Nate Widman, whom Brown fans likely had realized wasn't coming back. You may still have Rossi.

Rossi wouldn't have been a big loss for us, nor a big gain for SCSU. He's only played for Brown, which is obviously not at the same level of SCSU, when injuries have required it. He has generally played solidly, but has mostly been unnoticeable (which I suppose, for a defenseman, has merit in and of itself).

Widman is a difference-maker, if he can get back to his pre-injury form. He most likely would have become our best defenseman by now had circumstances been different. Best wishes for him, and for SCSU, a team I fondly recall Brown thoroughly beating in Providence, 4-1, when it was ranked in the top five nationally in the early 2000's (but that two-game series out in Minnesota a couple years ago didn't happen, ok?).
