Through early struggles, Brown coach Brendan Whittet remains optimistic

There were positives during the season’s opening weekend for head coach Brendan Whittet and Brown, but just not enough to come out with a win.

The Bears played a pair of one-goal games with Ivy League rival Yale and non-conference foe Vermont at Meehan Auditorium, dropping them by 3-2 and 2-1 scores, respectively. Whittet’s club had a distinct territorial advantage and earned a 1-0 lead through two periods before the Catamounts won it with a two-goal third frame.

“For the most part, I thought we played pretty good hockey,” Whittet said after the UVM defeat. “I thought we hemmed (Vermont) in and had them on the ropes … We’re not naturally gifted around the net; it’s hard to score. I talked about making a 1-0 lead a 2-0 lead, but if we don’t, we have to feel comfortable winning a 1-0 game.”
