BROWN COMMUNITY HOCKEY TEAM
 
A young Brown Community Hockey Team carried on the long tradition of participating in the 12th Annual Boyd Caldwell Invitational Hockey Tournament at UCC this past Friday and Saturday.  After a slow start with a 3-1 loss to LCC, veteran grade 6 players stepped up their game in an epic battle with the very strong UCC6 team.  While they lost 5-2, Brown made their mark being the first team to score in tournament or regular season play so far this year.

They carried that momentum into the 3rd and final game of the round robin with a 7-5 win over Crestwood.   Saturday morning came a bit too early for the Brown team which never really got their mojo going losing 6-1 to John Wanless.  But in true Brown spirit, the troops rallied in their 2nd match up of the day to defeat Armour Heights 6-1.  Unfortunately it was not quite enough to make it through to the Silver Final.  The future looks bright for this team who showed a huge amount of heart and character.
