Brown bears

[Mike Hutter]

Not too late to start this. Brown is clearly regaining its past glory with new coach and terrific skaters. Will surprise in ECAC Tournament.

Mel Ruzzi, the former Providence and Yale assistant coach, was a good hire three years ago. I guess time flies.

Nice - it was great when your forward Margot Norehad scored a Michigan and you won against Quinnipiac. Best of luck!

Their top 5 scorers were all underclass, so the offense should continue on the upswing. They weren't a high-scoring team, but they had success in part because of Doyle's play in goal, who I believe is a senior. If she's graduating/out of eligibility, that will be a big hole to fill. But Iginla is a special player, and the offense should be improving. No doubt they've got a chance to surprise in the ECAC playoffs.

As an aside, it's crazy that Norehad, who only had 13 points on the year, pulled that off against Qpac. Silky execution, and cellied like it was no big deal.

On to Colgate!! Well played game for both teams. Disappointing not to see more students at game.

Mel gets a good plan for defending against a very good team. No blow outs, close games. Brown can surprise.

 

[Reddington]

I agree on Mel being a good coach and a good recruiter. Good luck this weekend. She is a hard worker too.

Game Brown team played well against a very good Colgate team. On to next year! Looks promising.

Very happy for Brown's continued forward march this season, and very happy for the colorful, long-suffering Mike Rubin, for my money the best play-by-play guy in the (ECAC) business.
