University of New England Athletics

The Fleurent brothers (Biddeford, Maine) are the first UNE men's ice hockey players set to join the Hall of Fame since the varsity program came back in 2009-10 after 25 years un-sponsored. Ice hockey previously existed from 1973-84; through 1979, it was under St. Francis College, which has three players, one coach, and a one-time group of three teams already enshrined.
 
When Trevor – in his junior year – and Brady reconnected on the 2015-16 squad, it sparked the first winning campaign, and conference playoff victory, since the program was restarted. The Nor'easters improved each season during Brady's tenure, which amounted to a 70-33-10 overall record and a 40-23-8 ledger in league outings. The 2016-17 group reached the inaugural Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship game as the fifth seed, battling with the top squad into the closing seconds of regulation. UNE notched 20 wins in 2017-18 en route to its first national ranking, ascending as high as No.4, and hosted both the CCC final and the first round of the NCAA Division III Championship (at-large selection). The Nor'easters then won their first four postseason contests in 2018-19, including three consecutive road games to capture the conference title and advance to the national quarterfinals. The team was ranked in the U.S. College Hockey Online (USCHO) Top 15 Poll for 18 out of 19 weeks that season and totaled a school-record 21 victories (at the time).
 
Brady, who was a two-year captain for the program, graduated in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in sport management. He stacked up the accolades over his final three seasons, as each culminated with a 1st Team All-America selection by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) and a 1st Team All-USCHO honor. Brady was a three-time 1st Team All-CCC pick, a two-time CCC Player of the Year, a two-time New England Player of the Year, twice the recipient of the Joe Concannon Award (best American-born player in the region), and once the runner-up for the AHCA National Player of the Year. He remains UNE's career leader with 181 points (1.65/game), 121 assists (1.10/game), and 110 games played, while ranking second with 60 goals (0.55/game) and four shorthanded goals. Behind 18 tallies and 35 assists as a sophomore, Brady wound up as the NCAA Statistical Champion for both points/game (2.04) and assists/game (1.35). He logged 35 assists as a junior and senior, too, and, once again, landed the nation's top statistical points/game mark (1.89) in 2017-18. Brady owns a piece of the program's best single-game performances with six points (two of the three), four goals (one of the four), and four assists (three of the nine). He also shares the NCAA record for the fastest goal of a game, converting once at 0:05 of the opening period.
