Brandon Harrington has played in 57 games during his four years at Dartmouth, notching six points. Harrington graduated from Lourdes High School in Minnesota where he played in four Minnesota Class A State tournaments. He was named honorable mention All-State by the Associated Press and a St. Paul Pioneer Press as a freshman and was a Pioneer Press honorable mention as a sophomore. He earned letters in both hockey and baseball and both teams were section champions. While at Dartmouth he has been a key member of the Big Green, helping build stability and depth in the lineup. He scored his first collegiate goal on Jan. 20, 2006 against Sacred Heart and last season he scored against Cornell in the ECAC playoffs, helping Dartmouth win Game Two to force a third and deciding game.

“Brandon is a big, strong, powerful forward and he’s been a good guy to have in our program,” said head coach Bob Gaudet. “He really competes and can shoot the puck offensively. He’s scored several goals for us on strong wrists and getting the puck to the net, he’s got a heavy shot but a hard shot that’s able to break through goaltenders. Brandon’s worked really hard at his complete game and I’ve been impressed with how good his attitude has always been and he just wants to help the team in whatever way he can.”
