Career

youth

Rob Brown was born in Kingston, but grew up in St. Albert in the province of Alberta , where he played in his youth for the St. Albert Sabers and the St. Albert Saints , among others . In 1983, the attacker moved to the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Kamloops Blazers , which in the first year still operated as Kamloops Junior Oilers , and with whom he celebrated numerous successes in the following four years. This included winning the WHL championship for the President's Cup in 1984 and 1986, being named best scorer ( Bob Clarke Trophy ) and best player ( Western Conference ; WHL Player of the Year ) in the league in 1986 and 1987, as well as being appointed to the WHL First All-Star Team , also in 1986 and 1987. In addition, Brown received the WHL Plus-Minus Award in 1987 with a plus / minus value of +55 and was named CHL Player of the Year . Considering his achievements, the Pittsburgh Penguins had already secured his rights to 67th position in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft .

NHL

At the beginning of the 1987/88 season, the right winger ran for the Penguins in the National Hockey League (NHL), and in the following year he achieved by far his best personal statistics when he (alongside Mario Lemieux ) scored 115 points came in 68 games and was also called to the NHL All-Star Game . In the subsequent rather decreasing performance, the Penguins gave him after just under three and a half seasons in December 1990 from the Hartford Whalers and received Scott Young in return . After only a little over a year, the Whalers transferred him to the Chicago Blackhawks in January 1992 , who in return sent Steve Konroyd to Hartford. In Chicago, the right winger spent some time in his second year with their farm team , the Indianapolis Ice from the International Hockey League (IHL). This should be the rule in the following two seasons, when he joined the Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings as a free agent and was almost exclusively on the ice in the IHL for the Kalamazoo Wings and the Phoenix Roadrunners . In the minor league , however, Brown showed outstanding performances, in 1994 he was best scorer ( Leo P. Lamoureux Memorial Trophy ), best player ( James Gatschene Memorial Trophy ) and elected to the IHL First All-Star Team , before at least being appointed to the IHL in 1995 Second All-Star Team followed.

Subsequently, Brown signed the Chicago Wolves from the IHL for two years in 1995 , where he was again named best player and the IHL First All-Star Team in both seasons . As a result, he returned in 1997 as a free agent to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he completed over 200 NHL games over the next three years. He then rejoined the Chicago Wolves, where he let his career end and in the 2001/02 season still the championship of the American Hockey League (AHL), in which the Wolves had meanwhile moved, and thus won the Calder Cup . Brown ended his active career after the 2002/03 season, where he had completed a total of 597 NHL games and had come to 464 points scorer and 202 goals.

After his retirement, Brown was briefly employed in the coaching staff of the Edmonton Oil Kings from the WHL from 2011 to 2013 .

International

For his home country Brown played in the Junior World Championship in 1988 in the Soviet capital Moscow . With the Canadian U20 national team , the striker won the tournament and thus achieved the world championship title in the age group. Brown contributed a total of eight scorer points in seven tournament games and was second-best Canadian scorer behind defender Greg Hawgood . Among the eight scorer points were six goals, making him, together with teammate Theoren Fleury, the top scorer of the world championships.
