Former Hamilton Kilty B's netminder David Brown (photo credit - Kevin Pyle/Central Hockey League), now with the Arizona Sundogs, was named the Central Hockey League Goaltender of the Week for his most recent performance down south.

The Stony Creek, Ontario native joined the Kilty B's (now Red Wings) in 2001-02 as a 16-year old rookie and would spend two full seasons with the club, helping lead them to back-to-back second place finishes in the competitive West Division standings.  The Wings would fall in the Division Final to the eventual league champion Brampton Capitals in 2001-02 and in 2002-03 they were upset by the Buffalo Lightning in the first round of the playoffs.  During his stint in Hamilton, Brown earned a scholarship and would play four full seasons with the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Below is the official press release from the Central Hockey League website (www.centralhockeyleague.com):
