It would be about the time to give this coveted prize to Coach Bob Gaudet. He has come close before, but everyone seems to overlook his excellent efforts. Brown was not expected to dominate the ECAC for as long as they did, and Gaudet is very much responsible for the Brown reign. After all, how many weeks of the season did the Bruins spend out of the top slot...figure it out then think Gaudet for Coach of the Year. Speaking of which, the Brown squad does not seem to get the recognition they deserve. Just a few years ago, Brown was the worst team in the country - BAR NONE! With all of Brown's accomplishments this season, the ECAC honors bestowed upon Brown players were sparse: Parsons on the Honor Role, Damian Prescott as Rookie of the Week (1/16), and Tony Martino as Player of the Week (11/7/94). How many times did we see Martin St. Louis? (3) St. Louis can definitely put the puck in the net, but for a guy who plays half the ice, he sure did show up a lot on the Honor Role et al... So let's be fair when it comes down to picking which Coach did the best job this year. Martin Small Brown Daily Herald
