BROWN NAMED SUNYAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Former Wellington Dukes forward Chris Brown (photo courtesy of Oswego State Athletics), now with the Oswego State University Lakers, was named the SUNYAC Player of the Week for his recent performance.
The native of Centreville, Ontario would play his entire OJHL career as a member of the Dukes, beginning as a 16-year old affiliate in 2004-05 when he played six games and notched his first two junior assists. Brown would gradually increase his offensive output with the club throughout his four full seasons, recording career-highs in his final season, 2008-09, with totals of 24 goals and 81 points, which topped the Dukes in scoring. He was also a member of the 2006-07 Dukes club that would finish as runner-up to the eventual national champion Aurora Tigers and would play in the 2009 OPJHL All-Star Game held in Etobicoke, Ontario, potting a goal and an assist for the Central-Ruddock Sr. All-Stars during a 6-3 loss.
Below is the official press release from the Oswego State Athletics website (www.athletics.oswego.edu):
Oswego State men's ice hockey player Chris Brown (Centreville, Ont.) has been named the SUNY Athletic Conference Men's Ice Hockey Player of the Week for the week ending February 10, 2013.
Brown registered six assists on seven Laker goals, as Oswego State defeated Buffalo State and Fredonia over the weekend to clinch a first-round bye in the SUNYAC Tournament. The senior captain tallied three assists in a 4-0 win over the Bengals on Friday. He then fed Bobby Gertsakis twice and Chris Muise in a 3-2 win over the Blue Devils on Saturday for his second straight three-assist performance. He assisted all four of the power-play goals turned in by Oswego State during the weekend.
Oswego State ventures to the North Country this weekend, as the Lakers will take on Potsdam and Plattsburgh in the final two games of the regular season.
