He was honored with the Terry Flanagan Award in 2015, presented by the AHCA to an outstanding assistant coach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Brent comes to our program with a great deal of experience at the Division I level,&#8221; Clarkson head coach Casey Jones said in a statement. &#8220;We are very excited to add a person of his character and ability to our coaching staff. Brent will build strong relationships with our student-athletes and support them in becoming great citizens and hockey players.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brekke had a four-year career (1990-94) on defense at Western Michigan before a brief professional career. He began coaching in the NAHL for the Chicago Freeze, serving as an assistant coach and director of player personnel for the 1998-99 season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m extremely excited to be a part of Clarkson University, the Golden Knights hockey program and the Potsdam community,&#8221; added Brekke. &#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to continuing the great hockey tradition and working with Casey, Josh (Hauge) and the entire staff. They are a tremendous group of people. Casey has done an outstanding job with the program and I&#8217;m thankful for the opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brekke graduated from Western Michigan with a degree in marketing in 1994. He served as the Bronco&#8217;s assistant captain for the 1992-93 season and during the 1993-94 season, was the first player in the program&#8217;s history to be unanimously named the team&#8217;s captain by his teammates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarkson has announced that Brent Brekke will join the Golden Knights staff as an assistant coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":87402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[901],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
