Jack Maclellan '12 still has one year to go at Brown, but he has already earned an impressive number of accolades for his efforts on the men's hockey team. Before Brown, Maclellan was named Rookie of the Year during his 2006-2007 season with the Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, and he hasn't slowed down since. During his sophomore season, Maclellan played in 36-of-37 games and led the Bears in points (34) and goals (15).  Most recently, Maclellan has been nominated for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top NCAA men's hockey player of the season. For his outstanding efforts with the Brown men's hockey team, The Herald has named Maclellan Athlete of the Week.

Herald: Being from Canada, was it pretty much a no-brainer that you would dedicate yourself to hockey?

Maclellan: Yeah, up in Canada it's basically the main sport. Kids kinda get started when they're young, and it's definitely the biggest sport up there. I think I was about four years old when I started playing organized hockey.

Do you follow any other sports?

To be honest, not really. I follow hockey pretty closely, but that's about it.
