The Brown Bears men's ice hockey team is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college ice hockey program that represents Brown University. The Bears are a member of ECAC Hockey. They play at the Meehan Auditorium in Providence, Rhode Island.[2]

History

The men's ice hockey team at Brown is one of the country's oldest programs, having played their first game in 1898.[3] By 1906, however, the team had lost 16 straight contests, failing to score a goal in 9 games during that stretch. The program suspended operations after 1906 and remained shuttered for twenty years. When the team returned to the ice they brought with them their first official head coach. Though James Gardner only lasted one season behind the bench the team performed much better with a hand at the tiller and quickly built up to be a respected program. In 1939 the team again suspended operations, but this time it was due to the onset of World War II. Brown's team remained out of commission for the entire duration of the war and didn't return until several years after its conclusion, finally hitting the ice again in 1947.

In only 4 years the team climbed all the way to 17-5 record, receiving the top eastern seed for the 1951 NCAA tournament. Though they ultimately fell in the title game Brown had become one of the better teams in college hockey and, excluding a brief period in the earls '60s, would remain so for the next thirty years. When the 1980s rolled around the Bears result started turning sour and Brown found itself looking up at the rest of college hockey. Since 1981 Brown has produced only six winning seasons and more than half of their campaigns have ended with single-digit win totals. The Bears had a brief resurgence in the mid-90's, managing to make the tournament in 1993 but bowed out after only 1 game.
