Playing career

Junior

Brown played as a youth locally in his hometown of London, Ontario at the midget level with the London Jr. Knights [1] before he was selected by the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in the third round, 44th overall in the 2010 OHL Priority Selection. [2]

As a 16 year old in 2010–11, he played in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with the Whitby Fury. He began his four-year major junior career with the Generals in the OHL in 2011–12. Using his large frame as a physical, defensive defenceman, Brown remained with the Generals throughout his junior career, captaining the club for two seasons [3] and capturing the Memorial Cup in his final junior season in 2014–15. [4]

Professional

Selected by the Panthers in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft in the sixth round, 152nd overall, Brown was later signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with Florida on April 10, 2015. [3] In his first professional season, Brown split the 2015–16 season, between the Panthers American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Portland Pirates, and the Manchester Monarchs of the ECHL. [5] He appeared in 54 games with the Monarchs, totaling 12 points, and appearing in a first-round playoff series.

In his first full campaign in the AHL, Brown spent the 2016–17 season with the Panthers' new affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds. [6] In the Thunderbirds' inaugural season, he notched a career best 3 goals and 13 points from the blueline in 72 games. He followed that up the next season with one goal and ten points in 66 games with Springfield. [7]

As an impending restricted free agent, Brown agreed to a two-year, two-way contract extension to remain within the Panthers organization on May 31, 2018. [7] In the 2018–19 season, Brown returned to the Thunderbirds for his third year with the club. After adding three goals in 19 games, Brown received his first call-up to the NHL by the Panthers on January 18, 2019. [8] Recalled due to an injury to fellow defenceman, MacKenzie Weegar, and with the Panthers needing a physical presence, Brown made his NHL debut in a 3–1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, on January 19. [9]

In his first full season with the Panthers in 2019–20, Brown appeared in a career high 56 games posting three goals and 8 points. In need of a new contract Brown was traded in the following off-season by the Panthers to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a 2020 fourth-round draft pick on October 2, 2020. [10] As a restricted free agent, Brown was then signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract with the Senators on October 5. [11] During the 2021–22 season, Brown was placed in COVID-19 protocol on November 10, 2021, and returned on November 20. On November 26, Brown suffered an upper-body injury that kept him out of the lineup until January 13, 2022. [12]

On March 21, 2022, Brown was traded by the Senators, along with a 2022 conditional seventh-round selection, to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Zachary Senyshyn and a 2022 fifth-round draft pick. [13] He finished the 2021–22 season with a combined six points in 52 games played with the Senators and Bruins. [14]

On July 13, 2022, having left the Bruins as a free agent, Brown was signed to a two-year, $2.55 million contract with the Arizona Coyotes. [14]
