Congratulations!!! Tremendous coaching career 👏 👏 👏
He arrived on our campus 14 years ago to build our program. Two CHA Championships, a pair of NCAA Tournament invitations and dozens of individual honors later head coach Paul Flanagan has announced his retirement. 🔗: bit.ly/3ixj9bs #ThankYouCoachFlanagan

One last spin at Meehan with this graduating class of incredible women. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to have their leadership, trust and care in my first season at Brown. They have provided a solid foundation for the future of this program #GoBruno

Dr. Amber Fryklund may not be standing behind the bench this season, but she’s still finding ways to stay involved with the game. 🏒

This is a cool statement @BauerHockey - so now make it more than a marketing ploy and use your belief to put pressure on @IIHFHockey to reschedule all of the tournaments they CANCELLED in the name of health and safety.

ROOKIE OF THE MONTH 🏅 Anna Hurd is really adjusting to this whole @NCAAIceHockey thing pretty quickly.. The @BrownWHockey rookie started her career with a 2️⃣ goal outing, and has recorded points in every game since.
