Omer Brandt (1926-2019) was a Canadian ice hockey forward who played for Colorado College in the 1950s.[1]
Career
Brandt earned a college scholarship through his ability on the ice and began attending
Colorado College again made the tournament and were heading for the same fate when they fell behind Yale 0–3 in the first period, but Brandt scored CC's first goal and began a monumental comeback that saw the Tigers win 4–3.[4] In the championship game, however, Michigan was too much for the Tigers and Brandt's team lost 1–4. Many of CC's top players graduated in 1952 and weren't readily replaced, causing the Tigers to drop in the standings the following year. Brandt's point total slipped to 34 in 20 games but he still led the team in scoring.[5]
Brandt graduated from Colorado College while majoring in Physics and math and returned to Canada to take a job with Mobil Oil. He remained with the company for 35 years, moving around Canada and the United States, before settling in Calgary where he remained after his retirement.
Personal
Omer and his wife Sophie raised four boys in the Calgary area.
