Patrick Brown joins the Telford Tigers!

The 25 year old Canadian joins the club from the Wilfred Laurier University team who play in the Ontario University Athletics Conference which is part of the USports league of University Sports in Canada.

Brown is a 6 foot 2 inches tall centre who is a right handed shot and will be joining Telford in one of the four import slots available to the club in the forthcoming season. Brown will wear the number 67 shirt during the forthcoming season.

Patrick commented on his signing for the club, “I’m delighted to have signed for Telford Tigers. This will be my first season playing in Europe and the chance to come to Telford has come at the perfect time for me. I am really looking forward to getting over to the UK and meeting my new teammates ahead of the season. I am looking to bring a high energy game to the team and contribute offensively in every game.”

Tom Watkins, Head Coach and General Manager, commented on the signing of Brown.

“I’m delighted we have been able to secure Patrick for the upcoming season ahead of several clubs in the league. He is an exciting player with strong fundamental skills, who possesses pro skating ability and a pro shot. He sees the ice very well, can make plays at speed and in traffic, and will be an asset at both ends of the ice playing a solid 200 foot game. 

Patrick has good standards, he will raise expectations of our team within the locker room and will be key player for the Tigers. He is an excellent teammate who brings strong leadership qualities both on and off the ice having been selected as captain for the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks during his college career at USports level. 

I want next season’s team to be bigger and faster than last year, Patrick certainly ticks both of those boxes nicely.”
