After 2 outstanding seasons for UMass-Lowell Riverhawks, including an overtime game-winning goal to send the team to the Hocky East Tournament Finals, undrafted, junior left wing Matthew Brown(46) jumps at a great opportunity to continue with Boston University Terriers, starting 2021/2022.
The small 5’9″ but wide 190 lbs. forward committed after an outstanding season for former tier 3 junior hockey with close-to-home New Jersey Rockets, where he exploded the stat sheet for 31 goals and 20 assists in 44 EHL games and Rookie Of The Year honors.
He was quickly put into a higher program, first signing with Dubuque Fighting Saints but that lasted all of 6 games before a trade across leagues and he turned up more happily in uniform for Odessa Jackalopes, and his scoring once again elevated.
The Wood Ridge, NJ native looked back to skate at the highest level possible, signing with Des Moines Buccaneers to before heading to school.
Once again, he was a point-per-game producer, getting 30 goals and 27 assists in 57 games.
The 21-year old stays in Hockey East, so knows what to expect.
He’s feeling his new environment in his 1st year and scores 17 points in 24 appearances, but has it all figured out as a senior, helping his club to the Final Four with a bang up 16 goals and 31 assists with a +15 rating.
For his 1st pro deal, now 23-years old, he signs a pto with Lehigh Valley Phantoms to help them try to push Calder Cup playoff limits.
He will skate his rookie season with the team as he signs a 1-year AHL contract for 2023/2024.
To start his rookie frame, he has 1 assist in 2 games, which we think is an indicator.
