Andy Brown (ice hockey)

1

Andrew Conrad Brown (born February 15, 1944) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender.

Career

Brown played with the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League, the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association and several teams in the minor leagues. In the 1973–74 season, he incurred 60 minutes in penalties, an NHL record at the time for penalty minutes in a season by a goaltender. He was the last goalie to play without a mask in the NHL, on April 7, 1974, in a 6–3 loss to the Atlanta Flames; he continued to play without a mask throughout his three seasons in the WHA. His insistence on playing barefaced earned him the nickname "Fearless".

Personal life

His father, Adam, also played in the National Hockey League, as a left winger. In the offseason, Andy raced supermodified race cars at the Oswego Speedway and other tracks in the Northeast.
