MONTREAL – While plying his trade at the University of Maine, Brian Flynn quickly earned the respect of his peers with his pure talent and determination.
Coming off a productive campaign with the Eastern Junior Hockey League’s New Hampshire Junior Monarchs in 2007-08, the Lynnfield, MA native arrived on campus in Orono, ME as a recruited walk-on under the tutelage of former Black Bears head coach, Tim Whitehead, beginning in 2008-09. Wasting little time showcasing a flair for making plays and lighting the lamp, Flynn seized his opportunity to suit up for the two-time NCAA champions, finishing second on the team in scoring with 12 goals and 25 points in 38 games during a remarkable freshman campaign that also included a seven-game point streak in the latter stages of the season.
