Playing career

Brown played youth hockey in St. Louis and Indiana where his father was a coach.[1] He was selected by the Niagara IceDogs of the OHL in the first round (sixth overall) in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection. However, he was traded to the Windsor Spitfires for six draft picks after refusing to report to the Ice Dogs.[2][3] Brown skated at the NTDP Evaluation Camp, but ultimately decided to play in the Ontario Hockey League.

On August 19, 2016 Brown signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Senators.[4]

While Brown played for Canada at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge in 2014, he chose to play with USA for the 2016 IIHF World U18 Championships with four of his other St. Louis friends he grew up playing hockey with. Accordingly, Brown will play international hockey with team USA for the remainder of his career.[5]
