UVM made Brickley, a '92 birthdate, a recruiting target early on. They offered him last spring.

Recently, Boston University had been watching him, and wanted to get him on campus for a visit. But Brickley was already happy with Vermont's offer, and decided not to take the visit. Friday night, he phoned up to Burlington to say he wanted to be a Catamount.

A three-sport athlete, Brickley also plays football and baseball. Brickley thrives on the big sheet at Belmont Hill. He's an excellent playmaker with a good shot. At Belmont Hill, he's the fourth-leading scorer with a 10-8-18 line in 19 games.

An Everett, Mass. native, he is the son of Craig Brickley, who played for coach Bob Crocker at the University of Pennsylvania, during that school's too-brief tenure as a Div. I program.

Connor is the younger brother of Brendan Brickley, an '89 forward on the South Shore Kings (EJHL).
