Notre Dame senior goaltender and Pittsburgh Penguins prospect David Brown capped a remarkable career with a spectacular senior season that saw him backstop the Fighting Irish to their first ever CCHA Regular Season and Mason Cup Championships as well as coming within one game of reaching the Frozen Four. The Stoney Creek, ONT native firmly etched his name into the Notre Dame hockey history books and along the way earned numerous accolades, including being named a Hobey Hat Trick finalist, CCHA Player of the Year and most recently, a West First Team All-American.

In addition to his success on the ice in college David won the Lowe's Senior Class Award. The award, selected by a nationwide vote of coaches, media and fans, is presented to college hockey’s outstanding NCAA Division I senior student-athlete. The award identifies personal qualities that define a complete student athlete, with criteria including excellence in the classroom, character and community, as well as competition in sports.
