Brush Christiansen
Kelvin "Brush" Christiansen is a Canadian retired ice hockey coach. He spent the entirety of his coaching career at Alaska-Anchorage after founding the program in 1979, retiring after 1995–96 season. Career Brush Christiansen became a major figure at Alaska-Anchorage when he helped found the varsity ice hockey program in 1979.

When D-II ice hockey collapsed after the 1983–84 season, rather than drop down to Division III as most programs did, Alaska-Anchorage became a Division I Independent for a season before they were finally able to join a conference. Along with three other western US schools, Alaska-Anchorage became a founding member of the Great West Hockey Conference in 1985. Despite their best efforts, however, two of the four schools had dropped their programs within three year ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
