Boston College Hockey Head Coach Greg Brown Named Assistant For 2026 World Juniors

The  Scituate, Mass., native and Eagles alum (‘90) has been a long-time staffer for Boston College. After graduating from BC and playing professional hockey, he returned to Chestnut Hill in 2004 to work as an assistant and associate coach for then-head coach Jerry York until 2018. 

Brown returned to The Heights in 2022 to succeed York after he announced his retirement. In his three seasons as the helm, Brown has notched a 75-30-9 overall record and has appeared in three Hockey East Tournaments, two NCAA Regionals, and a national championship. 

This is the fourth time that Brown has been an assistant coach for the team. 

The rest of the coaching staff includes Minnesota associate head coach Steve Miller and Augustana head coach Garrett Raboin as assistant coaches, USA Hockey’s David Lassonde as the goaltending coach, and Minnesota director of hockey operations Jacob LeRoy and Bemidji State associate head coach Travis Winter as video coaches. 

The group will work under Minnesota head coach Bob Motzko, who was announced as the World Juniors head coach earlier in the year.
