Lincoln Stars defenseman Griffin Brown has announced his commitment to play NCAA Division I college hockey at Miami University (NCHC).

Brown, a 17-year-old San Jose native and Jr. Sharks alum, is in his second season with the USHL’s Stars after appearing in 14 games and recording a goal and an assist last season. He has skated in three of the Stars’ first four games this season and is averaging 11:53 time on ice. Brown recorded 75 points (36 goals, 39 assists) in 37 games for the Lincoln Stars 16U AAA team in 2023-24.

“I am extremely honored and excited to announce my commitment to play Division I hockey and pursue higher education at Miami University,” Brown said. “First and foremost, as a Christian, I want to thank Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, for guiding me each day and every step along this journey. Without my parents, brothers, family, friends, teammates and numerous coaches who have supported, mentored and believed in my abilities, I would not be in this position without you.

“I can’t wait to represent Miami University in this next chapter of my life.”
