Curry Head Coach Rob Davies noted, "Brian is one of five guys who came here to build the program four years ago. He became the team's captain in his freshman season and has worn the "C" in each of his four years. His contributions on and off the ice have been immeasurable. Brian loves coming to the rink every day and working hard at the game he loves, whether it's a practice or a game. He had a fantastic season and career, and he has certainly left his stamp on Curry hockey."

He has been a superb captain and our best player, and has been a terrific leader both on and off the ice in mentoring some of our younger players. He is a complete hockey player, and on the ice he has a special charisma that you just can't teach." A strong field of finalist candidates vied with Doherty and Ori for the Concannon Award.
