Unlike last season when the Brown Bears squeezed by the Harvard Crimson,
4-2, in the ECAC season opener played at Bright Hockey Center in Cambridge,
MA, tonight, behind a dazzling performance by All-America junior goaltender,
Yann Danis, the Bears throughly dominated and frustrated the Cantabs for
sixty minutes and pinned an impressive 4-0 shutout on the Crimson before a
raucous crowd of nearly 2,100 at Meehan Auditorium.

The Bears were clearly ready for their first regular season ECAC game
and played at a high level right from the opening whistle. One interesting
note was that goaltender Kevin Kliman was the only freshman to dress for
tonight's contest. Kliman and sophomore goaler Scott Rowan served as
back-ups to Danis. Coach Roger Grillo has 19 upperclass skaters on his
roster and plans to utilize experience early on while gradually working his
other seven frosh skaters into the line-up. Also, between the 24 minutes of
shutout hockey during a scrimmage with Harvard at Bright Hockey Center on
October 20, and the 60 minute blanking this evening, Yann Danis has already
stymied the Crimson for 84 minutes this season.
The Bears now look forward to their first full weekend of the young
season as they host Vermont (Friday) and Dartmouth (Saturday) next weekend
at the renewed Meehan Auditorium. After tonight's display, tickets may no
longer be easy to come by.
