He and three other players of the month were recognized on the ice and on the scoreboard during the second intermission
A senior, Brown was 3-1 record with a 2.25 goals-against average and .922 save percentage for Carrick in December. In his three victories, Brown stopped 89 of 91 shots (.978 save percentage) in the three consecutive victories, including a shut out of Ringgold Dec. 15. Brown also is an outstanding student and a Pittsburgh Region Jefferson Award honoree.
“It's a great honor for me coming from Carrick,” Brown said. “We don't get much recognition because we are from the open division. Being the first player from Carrick is a real honor. It leaves my mark in Carrick hockey history. “
Carrick (9-7) carries a four-game winning streak into a game Friday night against Hollidaysburg (5-10-1).
