Chris Brown is in his fourth season as the Associate Head Coaching position for the Alaska Nanooks men's hockey team in 2024-25.
Brown led to Auggies for 15 years, compiling a 192-153-30 record, giving him the second-most wins in program history while also winning three Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season championships, MIAC Playoff titles in four consecutive years and four consecutive NCAA DIII National Playoff appearances. He earned MIAC Coach of the Year honors three separate occasions (2006-07, 2015-16, 2018-19) and had a 117-84-24 record in conference play.
After completing his collegiate career at Wisconsin-River Falls, Brown immediately jumped into the coaching ranks, beginning his career as an assistant at Augsburg for the 1996-97 season. He made the leap to Anchorage following his one season where he served as the DI Seawolves assistant coach from 1997 to 2000. Following his time in Alaska, Brown was named head coach at Marian College (Wis.). In his four seasons, he tallied a 65-36-7 record and won Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association Coach of the Year honors twice (2001-02, 2003-04). He made his return to the MIAC in 2004, being named head coach at Hamline University for one season before returning to Augsburg as an assistant in 2005-06. He was then named head coach and remained for the past 15 seasons. In his 20 years as a collegiate head coach, Brown compiled a 261-209-38 cumulative record.
