Caden Brainard, Hope College
Sophomore
Muskegon, Mich.

Sophomore Caden Brainard (Muskegon, Mich. / Reeths-Puffer) assisted the Flying Dutchmen to a 15-9 win at Adrian and a 20-5 victory over Kalamazoo.  Brainard made plays to ensure possession and chances for the offense and enabled Hope to play less defense and put up 35 goals this week.  His 17 ground balls and 34 faceoff wins, along with his relentless play to help the Flying Dutchmen gain possessions, were a huge help to the Hope squad.
