Ross J. Brownridge is a Canadian retired ice hockey center who was an All-American for Dartmouth.[1]

Career

Brownridge joined the ice hockey program at

NCAA Tournament, making the tournament for the first time in 30 years.[2]

Brownridge was selected as team captain for his senior season and replied by upping his goal total to 30 en route to earning All-American honors (the first Dartmouth player in 20 years to do so). Brownridge led the Big Green in scoring by 20 points and led the squad to a Ivy Division championship as well as a 3rd-place finish in their conference. The Big Green finished as runners-up for the second straight year and made another tournament appearance. Dartmouth has not been back to the NCAA tournament since (as of 2021). Brownridge led ECAC Hockey in goal scoring that year, the last Dartmouth skater to do so until Drew O'Connor in 2020.[3] Brownridge sits third in career goals and points for Dartmouth as well as second in assists, however, because the NCAA does not track statistics prior to 1947 (the year the national tournament began), Brownridge is the current leader in all three categories for the Big Green in NCAA play.[4]

After graduating Brownridge played three seasons of professional hockey. He began by winning a championship with the Erie Blades in 1981 and then retired after a short stint with the Fredericton Express.
