ROGER GRILLO, current Associate Head Coach at the University of
Vermont, will be named the fourteenth head coach of Brown University ice
hockey at a press conference scheduled for tomorrow afternoon in
Providence.  Grillo replaces Bob Gaudet, Bears' coach for the past nine
seasons, who recently assumed the head coaching position at Dartmouth, his
alma mater.
 
       Raised in Apple Valley, Minnesota, Grillo was a defenseman at the
University Maine for two seasons (1982-84) prior to beginning his coaching
career at Old Town High School in Orono during his junior year.  Following
his 1986 graduation from Maine, he taught history and coached ice hockey
for three years at Yarmouth (Maine) High School where his teams won three
consecutive state championships.  Roger moved up to the collegiate level in
1990 by accepting an assistant coaching position at Norwich University, and
one year later he joined Coach Mike Gilligan's staff as an assistant coach
at the University of Vermont.  During his seven-year tenure with the
Catamounts, Grillo has been the chief recruiter for program and was also
promoted to associate head coach.  Regarded as a hard working and demanding
mentor, Roger is quite familiar with Brown's traditional ECAC Division I
opponents and was instrumental in having moved Vermont hockey into the
elite echelon of Division I programs.
