"Meet the Freshmen" - #18 Jess Brown
by Cornell University Women's Hockey
Name: Jessica Nicole Brown or my newly established nicknames: Brownie, JBeebs, Beebs, or according to the one and only Jill Saulnier. BeeberFever
Hometown: I'm from Wellington, OH, but only the 4,806 people who live there know where it is. So I tell everyone I'm from Cleveland.
Position: I always wanted to be a goalie, but I'm 90% sure I got recruited to be a forward. The 10% of “unsureness” comes from our famous Cornell prelims, they're notorious for making you feel unsure about things.
Major/College: Communications in CALS. But I’m thinking about changing my major to Marine Bio with a minor in Photography
1. What number will you be wearing this season, and why?
I'll be wearing 18. When I was younger I wanted to be 16 and I think I just ended up with the wrong number and I've just always been 18.
2. What’s your favorite hockey memory to date and why?
When I was 12 I was in a penalty box and a GUY from the other team was in his penalty box and he walked through the scorer's box and into my penalty box to fight me… I obviously won… but he upper-cut me and I had a large bruise on my chin. Just a little battle wound though.
3. What’s your favorite aspect of Cornell so far?
I guess I never really realized how much I like fall until I came here, its gorges.
4. What’s been the biggest adjustment to life at Cornell so far?
I miss seeing my family everyday… Also... When I was home I had cats that were rather… promiscuous… I guess you could call it. And they would have litters of kittens and I would raise them and find homes for them, so I miss that.
5. Do you have any pre-game rituals?
Nope
6. How are you enjoying the long walk from north campus to the rink?
I've only done the walk once; well actually it was a run (in jeans, WITH A BACKPACK) because we were running late for something.
As for the bus system… one time Zorn and I were on a bus… (I don't really understand the busses because I usually just drive my car) anyways… we were on a bus. Not sure which one and it was making weird stops and then stopped at north campus, on the intersection of Jessup and Pleasant Grove, but Zorn and I were like my legs hurt from workout and I think this bus swings in the A lot. Unfortunately ... it didn't go in the A lot and proceeded in the direction of Lansing, New York aka up by the mall. So instead of getting off at the first stop we thought it would maybe swing around and come back to north but it didn't. Zorn and I ended up probably 3 miles away from North Campus. We asked the bus driver if he was going back but he wasn't. It took us about an hour to get back (not sure why we didn't call anyone) not to mention it was dark out.
7. Do any of your fellow classmates have any interesting quirks or tendencies?
Murray has a knack for the Gangnam Style dance, and Pouds' French accent makes me giggle, especially when she tries to do a British accent.
8. What has your favorite team bonding activity been so far?
Camping
9. Any other funny stories you’d like to share?
Oooooooh. One time while we were working out I wasn't sure if we were supposed to be going or not (if Coach Howley blew the whistle) so I think I asked Leck… haha. And she said we were so I started going and Coach Howley is like "who would like to actually go on my whistle?!" or something like that and it was just awkward because I couldn't tell if he was mad and I was just staring at him with this dumbfounded look on my face. Ugh
