The nature of the game is such that we gravitate toward the
scores. The games on a given weekend paint a simple picture, and
the resulting standings tell a simple story about what’s gone
on in a given year. But it’s not always so simple, so black
and white. There’s also the case of Brown.
A late-summer announcement of new head coach Brendan Whittet
following the resignation of Roger Grillo to take a position with
USA Hockey meant that some new attitudes and new energy would be
taking over at Rhode Island’s Ivy League school. Whittet, a
former player at Brown and 1994 graduate wanted to emphasize pride
and passion while invigorating a program that he is so proud to be
a part of.
“We’ve come a long way from the team we were at the
beginning of the year. We work very, very hard to create our
chances. I give our guys credit. They’ve got a lot of heart,
they play with a lot of passion for Brown and they play
hard,” Whittet said. “We stressed it. When people by
into that, when they buy into the fact that they’re playing
for more than themselves. Brown is a special place, and I just want
the guys to represent the college, and they lay it on the line
every time we’re on the ice.”
