Honoring Colin Brown

Affton Hockey is renovating the upstairs meeting room at the Affton Ice Rink and renaming the room to honor Colin Brown. Additionally, Colin Brown’s number 72 is retired at all levels of Affton Hockey, including Affton Americans Club Hockey, Lady Liberty Hockey, Affton Americans Central States Hockey, St. Louis Eagles Central States Hockey, and St. Louis Jr. Blues.

The Brown Family generously donated a portion of the money raised in Colin’s memory to Affton Hockey. This money, along with matching funds from Affton Hockey, will be used for the project. The space will be used for a variety of purposes including team video training, team bonding events, coach and manager meetings, and special events such as high school senior nights.

The project is in the initial stages with renovations focused on the main meeting area. When complete, the space will include seating for visitors at high top tables, larger tables for meetings, and seating along the windows overlooking the ice rink. An area for video training will include seating, a large television, and white board.

We are grateful for the participation of local businesses with ties to hockey that generously donated to this project. GreenTree Roofing and Construction contributed labor and materials. Working Spaces, an office design company, donated design services and discounted furniture.

The next stage will include renovations of the small kitchen and bathroom inside the room. Affton Hockey welcomes any monetary or in-kind donations to assist with this phase of renovations.

Updates about the renovation and dedication will be provided during the season on our website and social media.
