Brown lost the high scoring line of Mark Fabbro-Kelly Jones-Chris Kaban, which used to take a lot of pressure off the Eric Trach-Brian Jardine-Ryan Mulhern line (and vice-versa). The loss of a second high-scoring line necessitated a change into a more defensive style (but fortunately not into the clutch-and-grab style favored by some ECAC coaches). Brown also lost two unheralded, but very solid defensemen: Mark Shaughnessy and Brendan Whittet (currently a volunteer assistant coach at Brown). In sum, Brown lost six seniors, all of whom were top performers for Brown. Luiz F. Valente
