PAUL, Minn. &#8212; Boston College&#8217;s Greg Brown was named the 2024 winner of the Spencer Penrose Award as Division I men&#8217;s hockey coach of the year on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Brown led the Eagles to Hockey East regular-season and playoff championships and to the Frozen Four. They&#8217;ll play Michigan in the national semifinals on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Boston College is 33-5-1 in Brown&#8217;s second season leading the team. He was the third Eagles coach to win the award, joining John &#8220;Snooks&#8221; Kelley in 1959 and 1972 and Len Ceglarski in 1985. Jerry York didn&#8217;t win the award during his BC tenure but did at Clarkson in 1977.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan State&#8217;s Adam Nightingale was the runner-up for the award.<\/p>\n<p>Brown was the only conference coach of the year who led his team to the Frozen Four this season. A former Eagles captain, he was an assistant at Boston College from 2004 to 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles have four of the nation&#8217;s top six scorers, led by national leader Will Smith at 69 points. Cutter Gauthier is one of three finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, which will be presented Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greg Brown was rewarded for leading the Eagles to Hockey East regular-season and playoff championships and to the Frozen Four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":136463,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1426,1],"tags":[812],"coauthors":[901],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
