Volpatti Breaks Penalty Minutes Record on Purpose
Tri-captain Aaron Volpatti ’10 went down in the record
books Saturday for the most penalty minutes of any player in Brown
history — and he did it on purpose.
Volpatti — who was five penalty minutes shy of the
single-season record before the game — told referee Chip
McDonald before faceoff not to be scared to give him a 10-minute
game misconduct if the Bears were ahead late in the consolation
game, Volpatti said.
So when the Brown forward was whistled for a slashing penalty with
4:33 left in the third period with Brown ahead 2–0, he knew
it was his chance to break the record.
