The recurring rites of summer:
In yet another instance of the ECAC's annual homage to Harvard's participation in the Beanpot Tournament, Brown's home game with the Crimson, originally scheduled for Saturday, February 5, 2011, has been moved up to Wednesday, February 2, 2011 (7:00 p.m.) at Meehan Auditorium.
And I can't believe Baier was one of our highest draftees. As I recall, he spent his time here in the penalty box or getting burned on breakaways for goals.
If you take out the players, it looks like that pic of Meehan could have been taken today. That place hasn't changed at all.
Trying to beat the heat, I checked out ebay for "brown university hockey". There is a photo from the 70's for bidding. The link to it is below. Hopefully the link as on this post will allow you to enlarge. In addition to Given, I am curious as to whom the other players are. Bruno, can you help?

Except that the photo wasn't taken at Meehan Auditorium. In fact, it doesn't look at all like Meehan.
If not Meehan, what rink? Home white jerseys? My recollection is hazy (very) but I seem to recall those steps in the 60s but that means major renovations to remove them, which I don't ever recall happening.

Sure it does. Isn't that the press box side behind the play? Near where the zamboni comes out today? Sure looks like it to me.
The press release announcing Brown's freshmen class has been posted. As others have said before on this site, the class looks good. I like Siers, presuming the coaching staff will keep him under control

No it isn't. The steps never looked like that. Besides, in 1975 there was no glass behind the goals. It was chickenwire.
I went back to the programs for the 1974-75 season (my student days!), and the covers show Brown wearing the white sweaters at home. Nevertheless, there may have been an occasion when the host school requested that Brown wore white while they wore dark.What year did the ECAC visiting teams switch from wearing white to their school colors? I'm pretty sure it was in the 70's, and if white sweaters were still being worn by road teams in 1974-75, that would open up a whole new avenue of inquiry in our attempt to identify the site at which this picture was taken.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. The photo looks a lot like the old, dingy Boston Arena (before the renovations).I vote for the Boston Arena when Brown played Northeastern on 2/12/75. Any contrary opinions?
