    Re: Brown Hockey 2014-2015 - Onward and Upward

    Via Divver's Twitter:

    "Four PC & Brown recruits on NHL Central Scouting list: Friars' Walman (47), Bears' Willman (116), Bird (117) and Lafferty (184)."

    Very nice!

      Mark's observation about Union's depth proved true. 4 producing lines. Hopefully, Bruno with next year's entering class can get close to that kind of depth.

        Boy, you're optimistic! Or, as the adverb indicates, merely hopeful!

          Union has proved that in order to win a national championship it's not necessary to have a state-of-the-art rink or a loud student section at home games. Just solid recruiting, excellent coaching, and, most of all, total commitment to the program by smart, effective athletic administrators.

            Yeah, but a rowdy crowd and a modern rink makes it a little more fun.

              Hopefully was a consciously chosen word.

                Of note, Union's AD is Jim McLaughlin who several years ago was the Associate AD at Brown. I am not sure but I believe it was in Roach's tenure.

                  Jim McLaughlin was an Assistant Athletic director at Brown under David Roach. Joan Taylor was the Associate Director.

                  Jim is a classy individual and extremely knowledgeable about the field of college athletics. He correctly understood the potential of Union hockey at the national level, and provided the support that created the conditions leading up to the Dutchmen's national title. I'm very happy for him right now.

                    I'd be good with one consistently producing line.

                      I agree with both Brown09 and kdiff77.

                      But I'd be happy enough with just the factors listed by Brown09: Great recruiting, coaching and administrative commitment/support.

                        Roach is a good name for him
                        It all starts with the goaltending.

                          Ryan Garbutt scored for Dallas tonight in the NHL playoffs. The Stars lost to Anaheim, but it's nice to see a Brown guy playing this late in the season. Dallas gave him a multiyear contract extension earlier his season based on his terrific play on their very effective fourth line.

                              Yes, Jim was an Associate Director. There is more than one of each.

                                Ripped from the headlines of ... the March/April Brown Alumni Magazine:

                                http://www.brownalumnimagazine.com/c.../view/3623/30/

                                Great to see all the coverage, regardless of who got there first.
