From modest beginnings playing on Dead Man’s Pond, Brian Brocklehurst reached the pinnacle of hockey in Newfoundland and Labrador. A smooth skating centre with a prolific scoring touch, championships followed Brock, and that is no coincidence. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Brock’s ability to perform at the highest level helped his teams to titles in minor, high school with Gonzaga, junior and senior with MUN and St. Bon’s, and a Herder with the St. John’s Capitals of the old NAHA. As a rookie with St. Bon’s in the city’s senior league, Brock not only won the league’s scoring title with 26 goals and 32 assists in just 16 games, Brock was named league MVP.  After a couple of shining seasons with the MUN Beothuks, Brock suited up for the St. John’s Caps, leading them to a Herder title in 1974.
