2010-11: Brown skated in 42 of 44 games for the University of Michigan as a sophomore; missing two games while playing for the USA at the 2011 U20 World Junior Championship. Brown was the fourth-leading scorer for the Wolverines, who finished first in the CCHA during the regular season and reached the Frozen Four championship game. Brown scored 9 goals with 14 assists and had the team's second best plus/minus (+18) with 59 PMs. In six games for the bronze-medal winning USA squad that hosted the junior tournament, he scored 2 goals with 1 assist and was an even plus/minus with 4 PMs. Both of his goals were power play goals.
Talent Analysis
A power-forward on the wing, Brown is a big body player with good speed and a powerful stride. Likes to use his large frame to play a physical, grinding game and is very much a straight line player who is at his best when crashing the net and finding lose pucks.
Future
Brown has the potential to be a strong power forward at left wing as a professional hockey player. Continued improvement of his entire offensive repertoire will determine whether or not he will be a solid NHLer or a fringe player.
