Brown began his career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Moose Jaw Warriors , who first used him in a playoff game in the 1991/92 season. In the following two years he was a permanent member of the team. In the 1994 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected by the Buffalo Sabers in the second round in 43rd place. It was followed by his best year in Moose Jaw with 104 points in 70 games. He also played his first NHL game for Buffalo, in which he posted his first goal and his first assist. Two mixed years followed, in which Brown kept commuting between the WHL, AHL and NHL. Only at the beginning of the 1997/98 season he established himself in the Sabers squad and stayed there until the end of the transfer window in 2004. He moved together with Andy Delmore to the San Jose Sharks for Jeff Jillson and a draft pick of the ninth round.

During the 2004/05 NHL lockout , Brown played in the ECHL with the San Diego Gulls . After his excursion, he did not return to San Jose in the following season, but signed a contract with the Chicago Blackhawks , which he broke at the end of the season, however, to be hired again in San Jose in the summer of 2006. There Brown tied in the 2006/07 season to the performances he had already shown during his first engagement in Northern California. The following year, his operations limited by a hand injury and the decision of the coach to only 33. At the end of the season his expiring contract was not renewed, and he a two-year contract with the Kloten Flyers in the Swiss National League A signed. Brown left the club after a good season with Kloten, in which he was Swiss runner-up, in the direction of EHC Biel , where he signed a one-year contract. A year later, Brown extended his contract with EHC Biel for another season and ended his active career after the 2010/11 season .

On the international stage, Brown played twice for his native Canada . He was able to win the gold medal and thus the world championship title at the Junior World Championship in 1996 .
