--------------------------------------------------------------

12/31 at Tri-City             L 0-3  0   0   0   2 [box score]

Bailey's roughing penalty late didn't do much to damage an already-lost game.

Forward
Tri-City Storm (USHL)
6'2", 195 pounds
Las Vegas, NV
Class of 2012
DOB 12/11/1991

12/31 vs. Omaha               W 3-0  1   0   1   2 [box score]

The biggest story around Brooks this week actually concerned his father Kirk, who owns the Storm...while speculation had long been rampant that Kirk would unload the team once Kenny left for PSU, he asserts that he's in for the long haul...meanwhile, Kenny's goal off a net-front scramble contributed to a shutout of Omaha.
